IKA magnetic stirrer TWISTER

IKA Magnetic Stirrer TWISTER

TWISTER is a universal and compact mixing device with magnetic drive.
(TWISTER SET 1 contains one drive, TWISTER SET 2 contains two drives, etc.).

In the basic version, TWISTER is a powerful single-setting magnetic stirrer for mixing up to 5 litres at a maximum of 3000 revolutions and a viscosity of up to 500 mPas.
By connecting additional TWISTER stirring units, 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 of the instrument is transformed into a magnetic stirrer with 9 stirring positions for efficient mixing of sample vessels with small volumes (8-60 ml). With the shaking attachment TW.VX (on request), you can transform the universal magnetic drive into a vortex or circular shaker.

Innovative operating concept
TWISTER enables a new type of interaction between user and laboratory instrument. The intuitive and chemically resistant 360° LED glass display conveys all information intuitively without the need for an alpha-numeric display. During operation, either the speed or the power required for stirring can be displayed. For example, changes in viscosity 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 vessel.
With the reverse function, the direction of rotation is changed at definable time intervals. This leads to a significant improvement in the mixing result, especially with samples that are difficult to mix.

Robust and safe
The high protection class IP 66 allows operation under harsh conditions. For example, TWISTER can be cleaned under the tap or operated in an incubator at up to 40 °C.

The compact and innovative design has already been awarded the reddot Award 2022. It is particularly suitable for use in laboratories with limited space.

* Depending on the number of units, a different power supply unit may have to be used. The power supply unit supplied is designed to supply up to two units.
