Product description

Compact IKA KS260 orbital shaker with 10mm orbit, 10–500 rpm speed, 165 lbs capacity, ideal for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing.

The IKA KS260 Orbital Shaker is a compact and versatile laboratory shaker optimized for precise orbital shaking applications in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing workflows. Featuring a flat 13 x 13 inch platform capable of supporting a maximum load of 165 lbs (75 kg), the KS260 facilitates uniform mixing and gentle agitation essential for cell culture, live-cell imaging preparations, and synthetic biology research.

Key technical specifications include:

Orbit Diameter: 10 mm orbital movement ensures optimal fluid mixing without sample disruption
Speed Range: Control model: 10–500 rpm with digital display for accurate speed setting and repeatability; Basic model: 50–500 rpm via analog dial
Timer Functionality: Control model supports programmable run times up to 9 hours 59 minutes or continuous operation; Basic model offers manual 5–50 minute timer
Environmental Tolerances: Operates reliably between 5°C to 50°C with up to 80% relative humidity, suitable for various laboratory conditions
Dimensions & Power: Compact benchtop footprint (17 x 14 x 9 inches), weighing 24 lbs, powered by 100-120V AC (50/60 Hz) with 45W consumption, compliant with IP21 standards

This shaker supports a broad range of holders and attachments to accommodate different flasks, tubes, and culture plates, making it widely adopted in bioprocessing, gene editing protocols, and molecular cloning workflows where precise agitation is critical. Its digital control model ensures enhanced repeatability critical in clinical diagnostics and biotechnology research environments.

Included accessories encompass a platform fitted with gel sticky pads to secure vessels during shaking, a user manual, and power cord with a one-month warranty, ensuring readiness for laboratory integration. The IKA KS260 is a reliable instrument essential for standardized protocols requiring stable and consistent orbital shaking in biomedical engineering and cell imaging applications.

The middle half of the 2,865 with a price runs from €60 to €1,524.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
