New disposable dispersing system: IKA® ULTRA-TURRAX® Tube Drive control
Dec 06 2011
Before researchers and lab assistants are able to analyse samples, they usually have to prepare the material first.
Mixing, crushing, dispersing or homogenising processes tend to be quick.
The cleaning of the machine, however, is time consuming and can be dangerous when working with toxic substances. But now, thanks to the new, hermetically sealed, disposable tube system, contact with the sample material is minimised and sample processing time is decreased.
Disposable tubes represent the tool-vessel combination within the IKA® ULTRA-TURRAX® Tube Drive. They are
attached to the drive unit without the user coming into contact with the sample material. Upon test completion,
a signal sounds. The sample can now be stored in the tube for further analysis with other devices.
The tubes can hold either 20 millilitres, (working volume of 2 to 15ml), or 50 millilitres, (working volume of 15
to 50ml).
They come in three different models:
• ST-Tube: Tube with stirring device. Suitable for mixing, stirring, extracting, suspending and dissolving.
• DT-Tube: Tube with rotor-stator element. Suitable for the dispersion, homogenisation and suspension of
e.g. medicinal samples.
• BMT-Tube: Tube for grinding with glass or stainless steel balls. Suitable for dry crushing, cell maceration as well as the dissolution of tablets in liquids.
