Orbital platform shaker with 0–500 rpm speed range and 10 mm stroke, ideal for precise sample mixing.
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.
This shaker is a reliable choice for scientists and lab professionals engaged in cell biology, clinical diagnostics, and biomanufacturing processes requiring precise, reproducible agitation.
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
