Drying Ovens
Drying Ovens

Drying ovens have a wide range of applications: whether in an industrial setting for production, laboratory or quality control or for scientific research and development. They are being used almost daily and require high levels of safety, reliability and user-friendliness. Equipped with these features, they will provide ideal drying results, for burn-in, hardening, tempering or heating.
The IKA drying ovens have a homogenous temperature distribution and because of the free convection allow for a particularly fast and even drying process. An adjustable vent flap enables improved air exchange and a special insulation minimizes odor development during long-term usage even at high temperatures. The interior volume is 125l and up to six racks allow for optimal storage of samples. IKA offers an optional glass door oven, enabling permanent visual control of the drying process.

Centrifuges
Centrifuges

IKA introduces a brand new micro centrifuge ideal for applications which do not require ultra high speeds e.g., micro-filtrations and cell separations. These centrifuges feature a compact design and a small footprint which requires minimal bench space. A transparent cover allows for constant observation of the centrifuge and it can be used with both microcentrifuge and PCR strip tubes. As a safety feature, this microfuge will run only when the lid is closed.

Photo Bioreactor
Photo Bioreactor

By using the IKA photo bioreactors, the cultivation of phototrophic microorganisms such as microalgae or cyanobacteria are, under carefully controlled conditions in a closed system, easily possible. Closed systems are particularly interesting in the field of research where a high microbial purity level has to be reached and contamination risks have to be reduced to a minimum. Photo bioreactors create a natural environment to grow microorganisms for scientific purposes such as for drug discovery or translational science.

By leaving the source of light apart the device can be used as a conventional bioreactor as well as a fermenter.

Decomposition Systems
Decomposition Systems

The IKA AOD 1 decomposition system performs oxidative decompositions of solid and liquid organic samples under pressure in a closed system.

An absorption solution is placed in the digestion vessel, where the halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine) and sulphate are collected. A precise quantitative analysis of sulphur and halogens can be performed using ion chromatography, ISE, photometry or titration.

The vessels are made of a high alloyed steel, which is especially highly resistant against chlorine.

The decomposition vessels inner-walls have been treated in a way, so that a special self-regenerating catalytic surface is present, which provides exceptionally high recovery rates of 98-100% and typical decomposition times of 2 to 3 minutes.

Among others, the decomposition method is described in the following standards:
DIN 51727, DIN EN 14 582, EPA Method 5050, ASTM D808, ASTM E775, ASTM E776, ASTM D3761, ASTM D4208
