Compact Incubator Shakers with Additional Operator Safety

The IKA shaker family has two new additions: KS 3000 i and KS 3000 ic incubator shakers. The innovative design of these compact shakers makes them easy to operate. The large LED display shows the speed, temperature and time settings. A circulation fan ensures that the temperature is evenly distributed and that no condensate forms on the surface. In addition, the range of attachments allows vessels of almost any size and shape to be used. Furthermore, the PID controller enables the use of external PT1000 temperature sensors, thus allowing for more precise temperature control. Although essentially the same, the KS 3000 ic also features a built-in cooling coil for connection to an external cooling unit. Operator safety was a top priority for the developers of these new shakers: the unit stops when the hood is lifted. These units also switch off automatically in the event of overheating, forceful impact or blockages. In addition, an antimicrobial coating protects the controls against microbial infiltration. Both incubator shakers can be operated unattended in a temperature controlled environment. All parameters can be controlled and tests can be documented using Labworldsoft software via RS 232 and USB interfaces.
