IKA RH basic 2 Magnetic Stirrer: Simplicity and Efficiency for Your Laboratory Work
The IKA RH basic 2 magnetic stirrer is a versatile and durable device, ideal for research laboratories, schools, and chemical industries. Designed to simultaneously heat and stir liquids, it allows for the processing of substances placed in containers on its heating plate. This model offers a maximum temperature of 320°C, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications where precise temperature control is required.
The RH basic 2 is equipped with a 400W stainless steel heating plate, enabling fast and uniform heating. The temperature can be adjusted using a rotary knob, with a scale ranging from 0 to 6. Once the temperature is set, the device maintains a constant temperature on the heating plate, ensuring reliable results.
Stirring is powered by a split-pole motor that offers a variable speed range from 100 to 2000 RPM, continuously adjustable using another rotary knob. This motor is coupled with a permanent magnet located beneath the heating plate, which drives a magnetic stir bar inside the container. The RH basic 2 can stir liquids up to 10 liters of water, making it ideal for routine laboratory tasks, even for larger volumes.
One of the key features of this model is its ease of use. The device is ready to operate as soon as it is plugged in, and a green indicator light shows its operational status. The speed and temperature controls are intuitive, providing the user with full control over the heating and stirring process.
The RH basic 2 is designed with safety features to ensure risk-free use. While the heating plate can reach high temperatures, the device is equipped with a safety system that limits the temperature to 400°C to prevent accidents. The presence of a safety circuit provides peace of mind when using the device with flammable substances.
