Efficient mixing with the IKA Vortex shakers.

IKA Vortex Shaker: Functionality and Design

An IKA Vortex is a high-quality shaker from IKA's "Vortex Series", which is used in many areas of research and analysis. Its operation is based on a simple principle: liquids or solids are intensively mixed together by a rapid rotation of the vessel.

Structure of the vortex shaker

The construction of the device consists of a robust base plate, which provides stability and a safe stand. On it there is a motor with high efficiency and a holder for the container to be rotated. The latter can be replaced as needed and is available in different sizes. Thanks to their innovative method of movement, Vortex shakers generate an effective whirling motion with a variable speed setting, which can be individually adapted to your specific requirements. Auxiliary equipment such as attachments or centrifuge tubes for the different vortex shakers can be requested as an option.

Innovative technologies for ideal results

The speed of rotation can be precisely controlled with the aid of a controller and, in newer models, via a touch function, allowing even sensitive samples to be handled gently. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and the well-designed housing with self-ventilation, the instruments operate particularly quietly and with low vibration. It is suitable for both short-time operation and continuous operation. Another plus is the extensive range of accessories, which are specially tailored to the shakers: For example, there are different stirring rods, microtiter plates, inserts, Erlenmeyer flasks or adapter plates for fixing vessel holders of different sizes.

For which activities is the IKA Vortex series used?

IKA's Vortex series models are extremely versatile instruments that can be used in a wide range of applications. Whether in the laboratory or in industry, whether in short-term operation or continuous operation - with the devices and the matching accessories, numerous activities can be carried out quickly and efficiently.

Possible areas of application:

• The most common applications for vortex shakers include mixing liquids, dissolving solids, and homogenizing and dispersing various materials.
• In addition, IKA vortex shakers can also be used for cell cultures, in particular to suspend cells or extract DNA samples.
• The shakers are also used in the food and pharmaceutical industries for the production of emulsions, suspensions or solutions.
• In the chemical industry, for example, they are used for stirring reaction mixtures in test tubes or Erlenmeyer flasks.
• Thanks to their compact design, the devices are also ideal for use in confined spaces, such as workstations in laboratories.
