Description
VX 8 is a universal attachment designed for fast, secure clamping of laboratory vessels on compatible shakers. It holds, for example, two Erlenmeyer flasks up to 500 ml and offers a clamping range of 25–135 mm, making it suitable for a variety of flask and bottle diameters. Minimum vessel height is 80 mm, ensuring stable seating during orbital or reciprocal motion. Overall dimensions are 265 × 136 × 60 mm (W × D × H), and the unit weighs 760 g, giving a compact yet robust platform for routine mixing tasks. Manufactured by IKA, this accessory supports efficient set-up changes in chemistry, biology and quality-control laboratories. The open clamping design allows quick loading and unloading while keeping vessels firmly in place throughout the shaking cycle. Ideal for dissolution, extraction, cell-culture media preparation and general sample agitation where flexible vessel holding is required. Supplied as one piece for direct mounting on matching shaker drives.

Questions about VX 8, Universal attachment
What is this article?
VX 8, Universal attachment is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Shakers, rockers & rotators, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Lab instruments.
A shaker, rocker or rotator moves a rack, a plate or a bottle so the contents keep moving without a stirrer bar. Orbital, reciprocating and rocking motions are different. The platform, the load and the speed range are the specification.
Stirring keeps a mixture uniform or helps a solid dissolve. A magnetic stirrer spins a bar inside a closed vessel. An overhead stirrer drives a shaft when the liquid is viscous or the volume is large. A vortex mixer agitates a tube. A shaker moves a whole rack or a plate. The shape of the impeller and the speed decide whether the liquid turns over or merely spins. The vessels being stirred are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
