Description
MS 3 basic is a compact universal orbital shaker for shaking tasks with small vessels and microtiter plates. It offers continuous operation or touch operation when used with the standard attachment, together with attachment detection for controlled use. Two operating modes are available: Mode A (secured operation with attachment detection) limits maximum speed to 3000 min⁻¹ only with the standard attachment in touch mode and to 1300 min⁻¹ with other attachments; Mode B (without attachment detection) allows speeds up to 3000 min⁻¹ with all attachments depending on the application. A wide range of interchangeable attachments supports diverse labware formats. The unit maintains a secure stand across the full speed range and features a robust zinc die-cast housing for everyday laboratory durability. This orbital shaker from manufacturer IKA is well suited to mixing, resuspension and sample preparation workflows in research, quality control and teaching laboratories. Supplied as a single instrument ready for use with compatible attachments.

Questions about MS 3 basic, Orbital shaker
What is this article?
MS 3 basic, Orbital shaker is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Sieve shakers, inside Test sieves & mills, in Lab instruments.
A sieve shaker repeats a throw so a particle-size test does not depend on who shook the stack. The amplitude, the timer and the frame diameter it accepts are the specification. A shaker for 200 mm frames does not hold a 300 mm stack.
A test sieve sorts particles by whether they pass an opening. Wire mesh and perforated plate are two ways of making that opening, and the nominal size is not a suggestion. A sieve shaker repeats the motion so the result does not depend on how hard someone shook by hand. A mill or grinder makes the particles smaller before they are sieved. The certificate of the sieve, and the opening size, are what an audit asks for. Measurement practice around mass and dimension sits with the BIPM, EURAMET and BELAC.
