IKA IC basic pro 12 c immersion thermostat: precise temperature control solution for laboratories
The IC basic pro 12 c from IKA is a state-of-the-art immersion thermostat that perfectly meets the needs of modern laboratories for precise temperature control. Designed for flexible and reliable use, this device stands out for its ability to maintain optimal thermal conditions over a wide temperature range from -20 °C (with external cooling) to 250 °C, making it ideal for applications requiring fast and precise heating and cooling.
The IC basic pro 12 c features a medium-sized stainless steel bath (model IB 12 pro) that offers excellent corrosion resistance and increased durability. This bath is combined with an immersion thermostat equipped with a PID controller that guarantees temperature control with remarkable stability of ±0.02 K. Thanks to its PT 100 and PT1000 temperature sensors and clear LED display, the device allows continuous monitoring of operating parameters, offering optimal safety for the user.
Designed for easy integration into various laboratory systems, the IC basic pro 12 c offers an RS232 interface and a micro-USB port for communication and programming. It also has an adjustable pressure and suction pump capable of reaching a maximum flow rate of 31 l/min, which allows efficient circulation of the bath fluid for uniform temperature distribution. The system is also equipped with comprehensive protection features including visual and audible alarms, a safety circuit adjustable up to 260°C, and protection against excessive or insufficient water levels.
The IC basic pro 12 C is ready for use, with not only the immersion thermostat and bath, but also a PT 100.30 temperature sensor and a CC1 cooling coil, enabling quick and efficient installation. Compact and robust, with dimensions of 285 x 313 x 291 mm and a weight of 10 kg, the IC basic pro 12 c fits easily into a variety of working environments, while complying with the most stringent safety standards such as DIN EN 60529 (IP21).
This system is particularly suitable for processes requiring demanding thermal regulation, such as chemical experiments, molecular biology or industrial quality control applications. With its ability to operate continuously (100% operating time allowed) and its compatibility with a wide range of accessories, it offers a reliable and complete solution for professionals looking for performance and safety.
