Description
The IKA Color Squid is a compact, high-performance magnetic stirrer that combines modern aesthetics with industry-leading reliability. Featuring a chemically resistant glass top and a vibrant, decorative design, this stirrer is engineered for the daily rigors of laboratory environments while maintaining a small footprint. With a speed range reaching up to 1500 RPM, the Color Squid is ideal for mixing low-viscosity liquids in research, educational, and clinical settings.
Technical Performance and Design
-
Chemically Resistant Glass Surface: The top plate is constructed from high-quality glass, providing exceptional resistance to acids, bases, and solvents, while remaining incredibly easy to clean and decontaminate.
-
Electronic Speed Control: Features a precision analog dial that allows for smooth, stepless speed adjustments, ensuring gentle stirring at low speeds and vigorous mixing at higher frequencies.
-
High-Power Magnetic Drive: Equipped with a powerful motor and internal magnet that maintains a strong coupling with the stirring bar, preventing “spin-outs” even when mixing volumes up to 1 liter.
-
Low-Profile, Stable Base: The housing is designed with a low center of gravity and non-slip feet to ensure the unit remains stable on the benchtop during high-speed operation.
