The IKA® MultiDrive basic is a flexible benchtop laboratory mill engineered to handle hard, soft, and fibrous samples with equal ease. With a broad selection of interchangeable vessels (sold separately), it covers both coarse and fine grinding as well as mixing applications, making it a true all-rounder for routine sample preparation. A powerful 1000 W drive delivers variable speeds from 3,000 to 20,000 rpm for consistent, reproducible results, while one-touch interval operation improves the crushing of tough materials and ensures thorough blending. A built-in USB interface simplifies operation and data documentation, and integrated cooling in the milling chambers keeps coolant and sample separate during processing.
