Safety instructions

When adjusting the speed, pay careful attention to the containers faste-
ned onto the agitation table to prevent the medium to be shaken from
possibly splashing out. Select the speed based on how full the container
will be so as to prevent the medium from splashing out. Observe appli-
cable safety instructions and guidelines as well as work protection and
accident prevention requirements for use in the laboratory. Avoid bum-
ping and striking the agitation table. Even minor damage that cannot be
detected may result in damage to the motor bearing. Careful handling
will ensure safe working and a long service life for the device.
If you notice that the device is not running smoothly, the speed must
always be reduced until no more unevenness occurs in the operation.
Make certain that the device is equipped with at least two diagonally
offset or four micro-titer plates, whether or not these are completely
filled. Never operate the device without micro-titer plates. Otherwise,
resonance may arise when it runs at high speeds.

Proper use

The IKA ® MTS 2/4 digital is designed for agitating from two to four
micro-titer plates.
It is designed for use in laboratories. The motion of the agitation table
is a horizontal circular-shaped motion at every point, thanks to a newly
designed vibration element. The circular movement is produced by an
excenter with a 3-mm stroke (peak-to-peak).
To ensure usage in conformity with intended purpose, the device must
rest upon a stable, even and slip-free holding surface.
Otherwise it must be ensured that objects in the vicinity of the device
® accessories.
