Description
MINISTAR 80 control is a compact high-tech electronic laboratory stirrer engineered for specialised applications where performance and space efficiency matter. Part of the latest MINISTAR series from manufacturer IKA, this powerful mini-class unit reaches speeds of 500 rpm while delivering precise, microprocessor-controlled constant speed even when viscosity changes. It handles viscosities up to 60.000 mPas and working volumes up to 50 l. A high-quality glass display ensures excellent readability, while continuous speed adjustment covers the range 0/30–500 min⁻¹. Integrated vibration detection automatically shuts the unit down in the event of tool imbalance, and a key-lock function plus timer support safe, controlled operation. Temperature measurement is shown directly on the display. The chemical-resistant housing withstands demanding laboratory environments. A USB interface enables parameter documentation and firmware updates and allows straightforward connection to labworldsoft® software. Supplied as 1 pc, the stirrer combines robust construction with refined control features for reliable everyday use in research and process laboratories.
This article is part of Magnetic stirrers, in Stirring, shaking & mixing.

Questions about MINISTAR 80 control, Electronic overhead stirrer
What is this article?
MINISTAR 80 control, Electronic overhead stirrer is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Magnetic stirrers, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Lab instruments.
A magnetic stirrer is the motor and the plate under the flask. Many also heat. The stirring capacity is the litres of a water-like liquid it can turn, and a viscous liquid defeats a rating that was measured on water.
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.
