The LR-2.ST the Allrounder from IKA: a modular laboratory reactor for high-precision chemical applications
The LR-2.ST the Allrounder from IKA is a laboratory reactor system that stands out for its modular design and ability to adapt to a wide variety of processes. Designed for the optimisation and reproduction of complex chemical reactions, as well as for mixing and homogenisation operations, this reactor is the ideal tool for researchers looking for a versatile and high-performance system.
One of the most remarkable features of this reactor is its powerful stirrer, the EUROSTAR 200 control, capable of delivering a high torque of up to 200 Ncm. This high torque allows samples with viscosities of up to 100,000 mPas to be processed, making it a perfect solution for dense substances and processes requiring high mixing force. The agitator mounting is specifically designed to ensure safe and efficient transmission of the motor torque, thus offering reliable performance even under the most demanding conditions.
The design of the LR-2.ST the Allrounder incorporates perfluoroelastomer (FFPM) seals that provide excellent resistance to solvents and extreme temperatures. These seals, which are in direct contact with the sample, guarantee optimum chemical compatibility and perfect sealing. The reactor allows vacuum operation down to 25 mbar and can operate in a temperature range from -50 °C to +230 °C, meeting the needs of the most varied and demanding applications.
The system is also equipped with a sophisticated electronic control system with microprocessor speed regulation. This technology maintains a constant speed, even under load, ensuring consistent and reproducible results. A motor torque trend display is integrated to monitor viscosity variations in real time, which is a major advantage for monitoring ongoing reactions.
The LR-2.ST is available with a removable WiCo wireless controller, allowing remote and safe operation, especially when the device is placed in a fume hood. Its telescopic support with a stroke of 390 mm facilitates handling and positioning of the reactor, offering maximum ease of use.
The robustness of the LR-2.ST the Allrounder is based on the use of high-quality materials such as borosilicate glass, 1.4571 stainless steel, PTFE and FFPM. These materials guarantee exceptional resistance to aggressive chemical environments and increased longevity. With a useful volume of 500 to 2000 ml (and up to 800 ml with a dispersing tool), this reactor is designed to adapt to the varied needs of research laboratories.
