IKA Shaker incubation KS 3000 i control

IKA Incubation Shaker KS 3000 i control – Compact Precision Orbital Shaker with Heating Function

The IKA KS 3000 i control is a compact, high-performance incubation shaker designed for laboratories that require consistent orbital motion combined with precise thermal control. Its small footprint and efficient thermal regulation make it ideal for controlled environment shaking applications such as cell culture, fermentation, and enzyme reactions.

Features

1. Precise orbital motion – Provides a smooth orbital shaking motion with a 20 mm diameter and speed range from 10 to 500 rpm, adjustable in 1 rpm increments

2. Integrated temperature control – Offers controlled heating with a range from ambient +5 °C up to 80 °C, ideal for temperature-sensitive applications

3. Long runtime and flexible operation – Timer adjustable from 1 second up to 59940 minutes, with continuous mode available for extended experiments

4. High thermal accuracy – Delivers ±0.1 K temperature control accuracy and ±0.5 K uniformity, ensuring consistent heating throughout the chamber

5. Space-saving incubator chamber – 50-liter volume with a usable platform area of 330 × 330 mm, supporting sample loads up to 7.5 kg

6. Durable and user-friendly – Constructed with powder-coated metal housing, PMMA hood, and intuitive LED interface with RS 232 and USB-B connectivity

Applications

1. Cell cultivation – Provides the required agitation and thermal environment for growing bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells

2. Enzymatic reactions – Ensures temperature-stable environments for enzyme activity and kinetics studies

3. Molecular biology – Suitable for hybridization, protein expression, and DNA/RNA-based experiments

4. Biochemical testing – Ideal for incubation-based assays and metabolic analysis in research labs

5. Stability testing – Used in pharmaceutical and food labs for sample incubation under consistent conditions

6. Educational and research institutions – A reliable tool for routine protocols in academic and R&D laboratories
