IKA-Werke GmbH & Co. KG™ TWISTER Sets

Description

In the default version, TWISTER is a powerful single-position magnetic stirrer for mixing up to 5 L at a maximum speed of 3000 rpm and a viscosity of up to 500 mPa. By connecting additional TWISTER stirring units (available as accessories), TWISTER can be expanded to a multi-position magnetic stirrer with up to 30 stirring positions. Stirring positions can be controlled either separately or simultaneously (leader-follower principle).

• With multi-position stirring attachment TW.IX, the drive is transformed into a magnetic stirrer with 9 stirring positions for efficient mixing of sample vessels with small volumes (8 to 60 mL)
• TW.VX shaker attachment transforms universal magnetic drive into a vortex or orbital shaker
• TWISTER enables all information to be conveyed without any alpha-numeric display via its intuitive and chemically resistant 360° LED glass display
• During operation, speed or power required for stirring can be displayed
• Viscosity changes can be observed and displayed as a percentage
• Mixing can be started by pressing a button thanks to integrated beaker recognition by placing or touching the beaker
• Reverse function changes the direction of rotation at definable time intervals, leading to a significant improvement of the mixing result, especially with samples that are difficult to mix
• High protection class IP 66 allows operation under harsh conditions
• TWISTER can be cleaned under the tap, for example, or operated in an incubator at temperatures up to 40°C
• Compact and innovative design has already been awarded the Reddot Award 2022
• Particularly suitable for use in laboratories with limited space
• Depending on number of devices, a different power supply may be needed (included power supply is designed to power up to two devices)
