IKA-Werke GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1910, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of laboratory and process technology. Headquartered in Staufen im Breisgau and with over 900 employees at 16 locations on four continents, IKA offers a wide range of products for the life sciences, pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries. The company places particular emphasis on innovation and sustainability, which is reflected in continuous investment in research and development and the promotion of an open and family-oriented corporate culture.
For over 100 years, IKA has been a family-owned company for high-quality laboratory equipment. With a broad product portfolio ranging from magnetic stirrers and dispersers to bioreactors, the company is represented in almost all laboratories worldwide. By using the latest technologies and developing innovative products, IKA remains a leading name in laboratory technology. A particular focus is on sustainability and digital innovation.
The new TWISTER multi-point magnetic stirrers from IKA set new standards in laboratory technology. Users can configure the devices modularly and adapt them to their individual requirements - from two to over 20 magnetic stirrers. The systems can be used flexibly, whether operated individually or synchronously, and offer options such as vortex attachments for additional functions. This flexibility makes the TWISTER series ideal for laboratories that require precise and scalable solutions.
The innovative disposable mills from IKA enable hygienic sample processing without cross-contamination. With disposable vessels in sizes from 40 to 100 milliliters, they are perfect for quality control applications, for example in the tablet industry. IKA also offers flexible batch mills that can perform various functions such as dry grinding, liquid mixing and dispersing with one basic device. This modular design saves space and costs, as a separate device is not required for each application.
IKA uses virtual reality (VR) to offer customers a unique opportunity to experience products such as rotary evaporators and bioreactors interactively. Customers can use VR to configure devices, test applications and consult with specialists - all virtually and without physical restrictions. This technology makes it possible to simulate complex devices on site and thus optimizes the interaction between customers and the company. The innovative approach is very popular and sets IKA apart from the competition.
IKA is committed to sustainable production and environmentally conscious practices. Printed operating instructions are replaced by digital content, which significantly reduces paper consumption. Thanks to the modular design of many devices, laboratories can work in a resource-saving manner without compromising on functionality. With this combination of innovation, flexibility and sustainability, IKA remains a reliable partner for modern laboratories worldwide.
