IKA MINISTAR 20 Control Overhead Stirrer
“The Fast One” in the high-tech mini class, the IKA MINISTAR 20 Control Overhead Stirrer is perfect for low viscosities!
Key features include:
- 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
- Viscosities up to 10,000 mPas and volumes of up to 15 l
- Continuously adjustable speed between 0/30 – 2,000 rpm
- 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
