IKA KS 260 Basic Shaker with AS260.1 Universal attachment

IKA KS 260 Basic Shaker with AS 260.1 Universal Attachment – Product Description

The IKA KS 260 Basic Shaker with AS 260.1 Universal Attachment is a compact and reliable orbital shaker designed for routine laboratory mixing applications in life sciences, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and quality control environments. Engineered with precision German technology, it delivers consistent shaking performance, excellent durability, and user-friendly operation, making it an ideal choice for everyday laboratory workflows.

At the core of the KS 260 Basic is a maintenance-free motor system that ensures smooth and quiet operation even during long continuous runs. The orbital shaking motion with a 10 mm shaking diameter provides efficient yet gentle mixing, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including cell culture, staining procedures, solubility studies, extraction processes, and general sample homogenization.

The device is equipped with an electronic speed control system that allows users to precisely adjust shaking speed according to experimental requirements. The speed can be easily set via a clear LED display interface, ensuring accurate monitoring and reproducibility. In addition, the shaker supports both continuous operation and timed mode, offering flexibility for different experimental protocols and unattended operation.

The included AS 260.1 Universal Attachment significantly enhances the versatility of the system. It features an adjustable roller clamping design that securely holds various types of laboratory vessels, including Erlenmeyer flasks, beakers, culture bottles, and test tubes. The flexible configuration allows researchers to quickly adapt the platform to different sample formats without requiring additional specialized holders.

With a maximum load capacity of up to 7.5 kg (including attachment), the KS 260 Basic is capable of handling multiple samples simultaneously while maintaining stable and uniform motion. The robust platform size of 320 × 320 mm provides sufficient space for mixed vessel setups, improving laboratory throughput and efficiency.

Designed for reliability and safety, the shaker is built with a stable housing structure and non-slip feet to ensure vibration-free operation on the laboratory bench. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for both small and large laboratory environments where space optimization is important. The device also meets international laboratory safety standards, ensuring long-term operational stability under demanding conditions.

One of the key advantages of the IKA KS 260 Basic is its modular design philosophy. Users can easily integrate different attachments depending on experimental needs, transforming the shaker into a highly flexible platform for various laboratory applications. This adaptability makes it a cost-effective solution for laboratories that require multi-purpose equipment without investing in multiple dedicated devices.

Whether used in academic research, clinical laboratories, or industrial quality control settings, the KS 260 Basic delivers consistent performance and reliable results. Its combination of precision engineering, ease of use, and robust construction makes it one of the most trusted entry-level orbital shakers in its category.
