IKA Mixsters

MIXSTER is a single & multi-position magnetic stirrer or vortex shaker.

IKA launches the first convertible mixing device. MIXSTER is a single-position magnetic stirrer or multi-position magnetic stirrer. With one attachment, it reliably stirs the smallest volumes. With another attachment, it becomes a vortex shaker. And even before it's market launch, it received the Red Dot Award in the Product Design category.

With just one basic unit, numerous new possibilities are created in the laboratory. Thanks to its convertibility, MIXSTER can be used as a magnetic stirrer today and as a shaker tomorrow. This is not only environmentally friendly and economical, but also reduces the number of electronic devices and the space required in the laboratory.

Genius of transformation

By interconnection, the MIXSTER single-position magnetic stirrer can be turned into a multi-position magnetic stirrer with up to 30 stirring positions of a single plug. Each position can run individually or you can set one and the rest will follow.

With the TW.IX multi-position attachment, the stirring force can be translated from one to nine small stirring positions. For the first time, it is thus possible to stir even the smallest quantities thoroughly with a magnetic stirrer.

The biggest surprise: With the TW.VX shaking attachment, MIXSTER becomes a vortex shaker. And with the STICKMAX II adhesive mat, it can also shake larger volumes really well at a slow speed. This means lower costs, less required space, and more flexibility and more sustainability in the laboratory.

Strong and robust

MIXSTER has a universal and extra strong drive. It mixes liquids with up to 500 mPas at up to 3000 rpm. In addition, MIXSTER is optimally protected with IP 66 protection. It can be easily cleaned under running water and operation in incubators up to 40 °C is also possible.
