IKA Digital Orbital and Reciprocating Benchtop Shakers KS/HS 501 with USB Interface
Product Description
The IKA KS/HS 501 Digital Shakers consist of two benchtop shaker models optimized for precise sample agitation in biotechnology and molecular biology workflows. The KS 501 model employs a 30 mm orbital motion suitable for vessels larger than 250 ml, including round flasks and Erlenmeyer flasks, making it ideal for bioprocessing applications involving cell cultures and solution mixing. In contrast, the HS 501 model utilizes a 30 mm reciprocating stroke, optimized for handling lying vessels such as separating funnels, frequently used in synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics.
Key technical features include:
- Speed range: Infinitely variable from 0 to 300 RPM, allowing fine-tuned agitation for sensitive biological samples.
- Timer functionality: Adjustable from 1 to 55 minutes with continuous operation mode, enabling flexible protocols in gene editing and biomanufacturing workflows.
- USB interface: Facilitates data parameter recording through IKA’s LabWorldSoft, supporting detailed process documentation essential for regulatory compliance and research reproducibility.
- Environmental compatibility: Operating ambient temperature range from 5 to 50 °C and relative humidity up to 80%, allowing deployment inside incubators for live-cell imaging and tissue engineering.
- Safety and reliability: Automatic restart after power failure ensures uninterrupted operation critical in molecular cloning and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
- Platform dimensions: 17.5 × 17.5 inches; overall unit size 20 × 24 × 9 inches; weight approximately 90 lbs; power specifications 115 V, 50/60 Hz.
These digital benchtop shakers are essential instruments widely adopted in clinical diagnostics, neuroscience, and advanced biotechnology laboratories, delivering robust sample mixing and agitation with precision control. Their adaptability to both orbital and reciprocating motions provides versatility across various experimental setups, including fluorescence analysis and live-cell assays. The integrated data logging capability and user-friendly digital interface optimize workflow efficiency and support advanced bioprocessing and molecular biology research needs.
