IKA TWISTER is a universal and compact mixing device with magnetic drive. In the TWISTER SET 1, one drive is included.
In the default version, IKA TWISTER is a powerful single-position magnetic stirrer for mixing up to 5 liters at a maximum speed of 3000 rpm and a viscosity of up to 500 mPas.
By connecting additional IKA TWISTER stirring units (available as accessories, ID no. 0020112621), TWISTER can be expanded to a multi-position magnetic stirrer with up to 30 stirring positions.* The stirring positions can be controlled either separately or simultaneously (leader-follower principle).
Versatile accessories
With the multi-position stirring attachment TW.IX, the drive is transformed into a magnetic stirrer with 9 stirring positions for efficient mixing of sample vessels with small volumes (8 - 60 ml).
The TW.VX shaker attachment transforms the universal magnetic drive into a vortex or orbital shaker.
Innovative operating concept
IKA TWISTER enables a new way of interaction between user and laboratory instrument. Via the intuitive and chemically resistant 360° LED glass display, all information is intuitively conveyed without any alpha-numeric display. During operation, either the speed or the power required for stirring can be displayed. For example, viscosity changes can be observed and displayed as a percentage.
Mixing can be started by pressing a button as well as (thanks to integrated beaker recognition) by placing or touching the beaker.
The reverse function changes the direction of rotation at definable time intervals. This leads to a significant improvement of the mixing result, especially with samples that are difficult to mix.
