IKA's product range includes magnetic stirrers, overhead stirrers, dispersers, mills, rotary evaporators, calorimeters, and vortex mixers. The IKA MS line consists of vortex mixers designed for mixing, blending, and agitating small-volume liquid samples in tubes, vials, and microplates. These units are commonly used in life science, clinical, and analytical laboratories for tasks such as resuspending pellets, mixing reagents, and preparing samples for analysis. The MS series includes analog and digital models with speed ranges up to 3,000 RPM. The IKA MS 3 Basic offers analog control and attachment detection. The IKA MS 3 Digital provides digital speed control and a timer with countdown function. The IKA MS 3 Control features digital control and Attachment Detection technology, with a speed range of 100 to 3,000 RPM. All models are designed for continuous operation and are built with a sturdy housing that resists common laboratory chemicals. The attachment detection system on certain models automatically recognizes the installed attachment and adjusts the permissible speed range accordingly, which helps prevent damage and ensures safe operation. 3G Electric supplies the IKA MS line as part of its industrial and laboratory equipment catalog. We stock multiple SKUs, including the MS 3 Basic, MS 3 Digital, and MS 3 Control, and provide datasheets, technical specifications, and logistics support for global delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about IKA MS from 3G Electric.

What is the speed range of the IKA MS 3 Digital vortex mixer?

The IKA MS 3 Digital operates from 0 to 3,000 RPM. It features digital speed control and a timer with countdown function. The minimum speed is 0 RPM, allowing gentle mixing or full-speed vortexing. This model is suitable for applications requiring precise speed settings and timed operation. The digital display shows the set speed and remaining time. The unit is designed for continuous operation and can handle small-volume tubes and vials. For detailed specifications, refer to the datasheet or contact 3G Electric.

What is Attachment Detection on IKA MS vortex mixers?

Attachment Detection is a safety feature available on certain IKA MS models, such as the MS 3 Basic and MS 3 Control. It automatically recognizes the installed attachment and adjusts the permissible speed range to prevent damage from incorrect speed settings. This helps ensure safe operation and protects both the sample and the device. The system allows users to change attachments without manually adjusting speed limits. It is particularly useful in laboratories where multiple users operate the equipment. For models with this feature, the speed range may vary depending on the attachment used.

What is the difference between the IKA MS 3 Basic and MS 3 Control?

The IKA MS 3 Basic has analog control and a speed range of 0 to 3,000 RPM. It includes attachment detection. The IKA MS 3 Control offers digital control and Attachment Detection technology, with a speed range of 100 to 3,000 RPM. The MS 3 Control provides more precise speed adjustment and reproducibility. Both models are designed for mixing small-volume samples. The choice depends on the required control type and speed range. The MS 3 Basic is suited for routine mixing, while the MS 3 Control is preferred for applications needing digital accuracy.

Can IKA MS vortex mixers be used with microplates?

IKA MS vortex mixers are designed for mixing small-volume liquid samples in tubes and vials. They can be used with microplates when the appropriate attachment is installed. The attachment detection system on compatible models ensures the correct speed range for the attached plate. For microplate mixing, IKA offers specific attachments that securely hold the plate. It is important to use the recommended attachments and follow the operating instructions. Contact 3G Electric for information on available attachments and compatibility with your IKA MS model.

What is the minimum speed of the IKA MS 3 Control?

The IKA MS 3 Control has a minimum speed of 100 RPM. Its speed range is 100 to 3,000 RPM. This minimum speed is higher than the MS 3 Basic and MS 3 Digital, which start at 0 RPM. The MS 3 Control is designed for applications that require a defined minimum speed for effective mixing. The digital control allows precise setting and reproducibility. If you need to operate at speeds below 100 RPM, consider the MS 3 Basic or MS 3 Digital. For further details, consult the technical datasheet.
