IKA Tube-Mill 100 Control 120V

IKA Tube-Mill 100 Control Batch Mill (100C S001) – 120V

The IKA Tube-Mill 100 Control is a patented, high-speed batch milling system engineered for the rapid pulverization of hard, brittle, or dry sample matrices up to Mohs hardness 5. Operating on a standard 120V power supply, this versatile system is unique for its compatibility with single-use, disposable grinding chambers up to 100 mL in capacity. By utilizing self-contained, swappable milling tubes, it completely eliminates cross-contamination between batches and cuts out tedious, time-consuming machine sanitation cycles in regulated laboratory environments.

Technical Performance & Design

• Zero Cross-Contamination Layout: Processes samples inside enclosed, transparent single-use or multi-use milling tubes, ensuring aggressive dust, volatile materials, or genetic fragments are fully contained without migrating to the drive assembly.
• Infinitely Variable High-Speed Drive: Powered by a high-torque induction motor delivering an adjustable speed range from 5,000 to 25,000 RPM, achieving high-impact tip velocities ($65 \text{ m/s}$) for rapid particle reduction.
• Sophisticated Safety Interlocks: Features an automated hood lock that strictly prevents operation unless the enclosure is completely closed. The drive unit identifies incorrect chamber seating or micro-coupling misalignments and triggers an immediate safety error lockout.
• Hermetic Labyrinth Seals: The interface between the drive terminal and the grinding tubes is sealed with a **dust-proof labyrinth design**, protecting internal motor electronics from aggressive particulates and fine sample powders.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Pharmaceutical Tablet Grinding: Simplifies sample preparation for **USP <905> Uniformity of Dosage Units** and PhEur dissolution assays, effortlessly crushing individual tablets from 1 gram up without cross-batch tracking.
• Agricultural Seed & Grain Pulverization: Rapidly reduces tough grain structures like **corn, wheat, and oilseed hulls** into fine, reproducible powders for downstream lipid or moisture content profiling.
• Forensic & Trace Analysis: Enables isolation of bone fragments, hair, or illicit organic materials without risk of introducing foreign DNA matrices, as individual tubes can be retained or discarded.
• Storable Program Conditions: Allows users to program, save, and recall precise cycle speeds and pulse intervals, securing repeatable grinding outcomes across various lab shifts.
