The IKA Ministar 80 control is a compact stirrer designed for the lab and university applications. It is extremely well suited for complex lab setups due to its small dimensions. Among other things, it uses torque measurement and connects to the IKA Labworldsoft network, thus allowing for precise assessment and control on the PC. The vibration sensor enables particularly safe handling in combination with the adaptive stirrer protection. The intentionally smaller design and asymmetrical shape give the device its character. The dark frame with recessed glass front and gently formed side parts give the unit a power and high-valued image.
