IKA KS 260 basic Orbital Platform Shaker for Controlled Sample Agitation

The IKA KS 260 basic is a high-performance orbital platform shaker designed for reliable sample agitation in laboratory settings. Featuring a speed range of 0 to 500 rpm with a 10 mm shaking stroke, it ensures uniform mixing critical for applications in molecular biology, biotechnology, and bioprocessing workflows. The device supports both timer-controlled operation with ranges from 5 to 50 minutes and continuous mode, displayed clearly via an LED line speed and timer display.

This benchtop orbital shaker accommodates a maximum shaking weight of 7.5 kg including attachments, making it suitable for various lab containers and assay types. Its 100% permissible ON time supports extended use in experiments that demand consistent agitation, such as cell culture mixing and fluorescence analysis preparation. Compact in size at 360 x 98 x 420 mm (WxHxD) and weighing just 8.5 kg, it fits efficiently on laboratory workbenches.

Widely used in biotechnology research, this platform shaker offers robust functionality essential for protein expression studies, molecular cloning workflows, and synthetic biology protocols. The orbital movement ensures gentle yet effective mixing suited for live-cell imaging sample preparation and molecular diagnostics.
