RO 5 Shaker - Perfect Condition

IKA RO 5: quiet and powerful multi-position magnetic stirrer for the laboratory

The RO 5 from IKA is a magnetic stirrer without heating, designed to meet the most rigorous requirements of modern laboratories. This device is specifically developed to enable synchronised stirring in five separate positions, ensuring maximum efficiency when preparing multiple samples in parallel. Its magnetic coil technology eliminates mechanical components that are prone to wear, ensuring quiet, reliable and maintenance-free operation, even during prolonged use.

The unique feature of the RO 5 is its ability to maintain a constant shaking speed regardless of load variations. This performance is made possible by high-performance control electronics that automatically adjust the power delivered to each position. This ensures that each container is mixed evenly, which is essential for reproducible experimental protocols. In addition, the adjustable reverse rotation function optimises the mixing of complex solutions or solutions with a tendency to sediment, thus increasing the flexibility of use of the device.

Its closed, compact design makes it easy to clean and effectively protects the internal components from splashes and liquid ingress. Made of high-quality stainless steel (1.4301), its support plate is resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, ensuring optimum durability. The dimensions of the tray (120 x 470 mm) provide enough space to accommodate five laboratory containers at the same time, each with a capacity of up to 0.4 litres of water, for a maximum load of 5 kg.

The RO 5 is intuitive to operate thanks to a responsive touchpad that is suitable for use with gloves. The device is also designed for continuous operation, making it ideal for applications requiring prolonged or uninterrupted stirring, such as cell cultures, chemical reactions or the preparation of homogeneous solutions.

An error code display screen allows for quick diagnosis in the event of a malfunction, simplifying maintenance and increasing the reliability of the device. Its wide power supply range (100–240 V) and compatibility with 50/60 Hz frequencies ensure universal use in all types of laboratories, regardless of local electrical standards.

The RO 5 from IKA stands out as a professional, compact, robust and highly accurate magnetic stirrer, ideal for laboratories requiring reliable and quiet multi-sample stirring under optimal safety and ergonomic conditions.
