IKA Ministar Overhead Stirrers

Overview

The new MINISTAR series by IKA: Developed using the latest cutting-edge technology, this high-tech overhead stirrer with its compact design is ideal for special applications.
Combining high performance with particular excellence, they require minimum space and come with a lifetime guarantee. 

Features:

• Hardened glass enclosed, fast response display for maximum visibility and chemical resistance
• State-of-art vibration sensors detect deviations from permissible thresholds and automatically stop the process
• Clear display for all essential information at a glance
• Integrated timer / counter for the control of kinetic sensitive reactions and reminders
• USB interface, e.g. for documenting parameters using labworldsoft® or installing firmware updates
• Intuitive and simple handling; touch-sensitive surface for long service life
• Temperature reading on display
• Chemical resistant housing
• Key lock function
• Microprocessor-controlled speed governor for constant rotational speed, even with changes in viscosity
