IKA RO 5 power: The High-Performance Magnetic Stirrer for Your Laboratory Applications
The IKA RO 5 power magnetic stirrer is a laboratory device designed to provide homogeneous agitation of substances placed in containers on a support surface. Ideal for use in chemistry and pharmacy laboratories, as well as in educational settings, this stirrer can handle up to 5 stirring points simultaneously. Its robust design and brushless motor ensure stable and reliable agitation, even in demanding work environments.
The RO 5 power is equipped with a high-quality brushless EC motor, ensuring enhanced longevity and reduced energy consumption. Its precise speed control allows for continuous adjustment from 0 to 1100 rpm, adapting to various types of mixtures and the changing viscosities of substances. As viscosity increases, the speed may slightly decrease, but it can be easily adjusted to maintain the required agitation intensity.
This device is also designed for continuous use (100% duty cycle), making it a reliable tool in environments where extended agitation is necessary. With a maximum capacity of 2 liters per stirring point, it can be used with various container types, including 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks or larger volumes, depending on the model selected.
The RO 5 power is extremely easy to use, thanks to its intuitive interface. It features two control knobs: one for motor speed and the other for setting the heating plate temperature, which can reach 120°C. The temperature is adjustable with a precision of ±2°C, and it is indicated by a yellow LED when the heat is active. This feature is especially useful for applications requiring precise thermal control.
Regarding safety, the RO 5 power complies with strict safety standards (EN 61010-1, EN 61326-1) and is splash-resistant with an IP42 protection rating. This ensures protection against dust and moisture, allowing the device to be used in various environments while minimizing the risk of failure. The device is designed to operate in ambient temperatures ranging from +5°C to +40°C, with a maximum relative humidity of 80%.
This magnetic stirrer is also maintenance-free, which makes it even more convenient for daily use. It only requires routine cleaning to maintain optimal performance and is built to last, with minimal need for frequent replacement parts.
