Description
MS 3 control is a compact, universal orbital shaker designed for reliable mixing of small vessels and microtiter plates in everyday laboratory work. It supports a wide range of interchangeable attachments and features automatic attachment recognition for safe operation. A timer with countdown function, continuous or touch operation (with the standard attachment), and a USB interface for remote control provide flexible workflow options. Two operating modes are available: Mode A limits speed according to the attached accessory for protected use, while Mode B allows speeds up to 3,000 rpm with all attachments depending on the application. The robust zinc die-cast housing ensures a secure stand across the full speed range. Supplied as a single unit from manufacturer IKA, this shaker is well suited to vortexing and orbital mixing tasks with small sample formats. Its compact footprint and versatile accessory concept make it a practical choice for general laboratory shaking applications requiring controlled, reproducible motion.

Questions about MS 3 control, Orbital shaker
What is this article?
MS 3 control, 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.
Which category should I open next?
