Flat, lightweight, with a glassy shine, and controllable without buttons: IKA TWISTER is a completely rethought and redesigned mixing professional. It can stir as well as shake. Just in time for the product launch, it received the Red Dot Award 2022 in the category of Product Design. Its design impresses with a high-quality appearance, combined with innovative and high-quality technology. Intuitive operation, a small footprint, a robust glass surface and a powerful motor make IKA TWISTER a "must-have" in the laboratory.Innovative power and economic success
