RW 11 basic "Lab Egg": the compact stirrer that combines performance and originality in the laboratory
The RW 11 basic "Lab Egg" electronic rod shaker from IKA is much more than just a laboratory tool. Designed to meet the needs of demanding laboratory technicians, researchers and technicians, it embodies the perfect fusion of ergonomic design, ease of use and technical efficiency. Behind its round, compact appearance, reminiscent of an egg, lies a powerful motor capable of ensuring homogeneous and controlled mixing, even in the most confined spaces.
Designed for small volumes of liquids, the RW 11 basic is ideal for stirring up to 2 litres of water or equivalent solutions with low viscosity (up to 100 mPas). What sets it apart from many other agitators on the market is its variable speed range of 0 to 2000 rpm, which allows precise adjustment to the type of mixture required. Whether for gentle agitation or more dynamic mixing, it ensures optimum consistency without jerking or loss of power.
The RW 11 basic motor is remarkably energy-efficient, with a power consumption of only 8 W and a power output of 1 W. This makes it an energy-saving device while maintaining sufficient efficiency for everyday laboratory work. It delivers a maximum torque of 0.8 Ncm, perfectly calibrated for light and repetitive applications.
Compact and lightweight, weighing only 0.39 kg, it is easy to install and move from one workstation to another. Its small dimensions (86 x 175 x 89 mm) allow for perfect integration on a workbench without taking up valuable space. The integrated mounting arm (diameter 13 mm, length 160 mm) allows direct installation on standard laboratory supports without the need for additional accessories.
But the RW 11 basic offers more than just technical performance: it also offers customisation. It transforms the working environment into a functional and attractive space while maintaining professional rigour.
The RW 11 basic "Lab Egg" from IKA is the perfect solution for users looking for a compact, high-performance and original stirrer. It is particularly recommended for research environments, academic laboratories or routine applications where reliability, ergonomics and simplicity are essential.
