IKA RCT digital: Precision Magnetic Stirrer with Heating
The IKA RCT digital magnetic stirrer with heating is a professional laboratory equipment offering excellent features for demanding stirring and heating applications. Designed to meet the needs of laboratories, pharmacies, and educational institutions, this device combines fast heating technology and precise temperature regulation. It is ideal for mixing liquid solutions, chemical reagents, or other materials requiring optimal thermal and mechanical management.
With a heating power of 600W and a heating capacity of up to 310°C, the RCT digital ensures rapid temperature rise, reaching 7°C per minute, while offering thermal regulation accuracy of 1°C. This model also stands out with its powerful magnetic stirring, featuring an adjustable speed range from 0 to 1500 rpm, allowing for the mixing of volumes up to 20 liters of water with an accuracy of 10 rpm.
The IKA RCT digital is equipped with a clear LCD display and an intuitive control system. The user can easily adjust the heating temperature and stirring speed using the rotary buttons, while monitoring real-time parameters such as actual temperature and stirring speed. It also offers the ability to connect an external PT1000 temperature probe or a contact thermometer for even more precise regulation.
A major feature of this model is the integrated safety function. It has an adjustable safety circuit that allows setting a temperature limit to avoid overheating risks. In case of a probe connection interruption or any malfunction, the device automatically stops heating. The error display, such as the "Error 5" indicator for improper probe placement, helps ensure safety during operation.
The RCT digital also offers features such as viscosity regulation, an intermittent stirring mode, and the ability to control the device remotely via USB or RS232, enabling easy integration into automated systems or remote management with the Labworldsoft® software. It is also equipped with a programmable timer and a locking function to prevent accidental changes in settings during operations.
Its compact and robust design ensures long-lasting and reliable use in laboratory environments. The RCT Digital is designed to operate in conditions ranging from 5°C to 40°C and features splash and dust protection (IP42), making it suitable for various work environments.
