IKA ETS-D5 electronic contact thermometer with touchscreen, –20 °C to +400 °C, 0025008371
The new IKA ETS-D5 electronic contact thermometer (MPN 0025008371) completely redefines precision, safety and ease of use in laboratory thermal analysis. Developed as a high-performance mechatronic control unit for demanding laboratory processes, this instrument takes over active, direct temperature control of the medium once connected. It controls the heating power of a coupled magnetic stirrer by intelligently switching the heating plate on and off, whilst the stirrer itself acts as a redundant monitoring unit for the preset safety limits. The ETS-D5 thus transforms any compatible workstation into a future-proof, high-precision control centre for reproducible experimental series. Integrated safety architecture for risk-free processes From a process engineering perspective, the ETS-D5 offers a comprehensive range of sophisticated protective functions that contribute significantly to laboratory safety and risk minimisation. The system features an adjustable sensor timeout, which is triggered immediately if the probe is inadvertently outside the liquid medium. Precise temperature drop detection reacts dynamically to unexpected thermal gradients, whilst setpoint monitoring (Delta T) immediately stops temperature control if the target value is exceeded by a critical margin. To prevent operator errors in multi-user operation, the maximum settable temperature can be strictly limited via a setpoint limit. In the event of a transient fault, the heating circuit remains permanently switched off to protect personnel and the sample matrix. Optimised PID control and application-specific modes The instrument’s control technology ensures absolutely stable temperature control without thermal overshoot. Coupled with a high-precision, interchangeable PT1000 temperature sensor of tolerance class A, the system covers a wide operating range from –20 °C to +400 °C. Three application-specific temperature control modes ensure maximum flexibility in day-to-day laboratory work: ‘Fast’ for ultra-fast heating cycles, ‘Precise’ for working at the minimum tolerance limit, and a specialised synthesis block mode that is perfectly tailored to the thermodynamic requirements of chemical syntheses. For highly sensitive organic or biological sample structures, the heating rate can also be precisely reduced in percentage increments.

Superior heat transfer thanks to innovative Kera-Disk technology The thermal foundation of the magnetic stirrer is formed by the distinctive Kera-Disk base, which has a diameter of 135 mm. The support structure consists of a highly conductive aluminium alloy, which ensures minimal heating times and absolutely homogeneous temperature distribution. To protect against aggressive media, acids, alkalis and stubborn solvents, the metal surface is sealed with a non-porous, scratch-resistant ceramic coating. This hybrid material structure combines the excellent thermal conductivity of aluminium with the extreme chemical inertness of ceramic, whilst also facilitating rapid, residue-free cleaning of the work surface. Precise metrology and microprocessor-controlled kinetics From a process engineering perspective, the new generation of the RCT basic offers a significantly improved operating and control structure. The integrated, high-contrast digital display enables real-time monitoring of setpoint and actual values for speed and temperature. The powerful magnetic drive covers a continuously variable speed range from 50 to 1,500 revolutions per minute and maintains the selected kinetics absolutely constant, even during transient changes in viscosity. For high-precision temperature control directly within the sample, the device features an integrated interface for the direct connection of an optional PT1000 temperature sensor. Hermetic seal for uncompromising laboratory safety The structural resilience of the RCT basic is underpinned by a sealed die-cast aluminium housing with IP 42 protection. This barrier reliably protects the sensitive control electronics and the motor from the ingress of spilled liquids or vapours. A multi-stage safety concept protects users and the laboratory workstation: an independently adjustable safety circuit immediately switches off the 600-watt heating element in the event of an unexpected overheating. In addition, a visual residual heat indicator (Hot Top Indicator) warns staff of the risk of burns from the heating plate until it has cooled down to a safe temperature.

IKA CBC ROTAVISC SBS me-vi Package, viscometer set (cooling/heating), SBS bearing, 0010014031
Measuring viscosity in cold and hot conditions: The IKA CBC ROTAVISC SBS me-vi Package The IKA CBC ROTAVISC SBS me-vi Package (MPN 0010014031) is the ultimate all-in-one solution for laboratories that need to characterise the flow behaviour of substances across an extremely wide temperature range. Viscosity is not a constant; it is highly temperature-dependent. Many products – be it engine oil that must remain liquid in winter, salad dressing that must not set in the fridge, or hydraulic fluids – need to be tested at both sub-zero temperatures and in the heat. This package seamlessly combines the robust ROTAVISC SBS me-vi viscometer with the high-performance CBC 5 basic cooling and heating circulation thermostat. Active cooling and heating: the CBC 5 basic Unlike pure heating units (such as the ROTATEMP system), the CBC 5 basic thermostat included in the set offers full flexibility in both directions. With a powerful heating capacity of 2,500 watts and an active cooling capacity of 350 watts, it covers a temperature range from -25 °C to +200 °C. This is crucial for real-world stress tests: Cold tests: Analyse the temperature at which an oil becomes too viscous or an emulsion breaks down. Heat tests: Investigate the decrease in viscosity under process heat. Thanks to the powerful pressure and suction pumps, the temperature control medium (e.g. silicone oil) is circulated optimally, guaranteeing excellent temperature uniformity directly at the measuring cup. SBS bearings: Robustness for everyday industrial use The measuring head in this package is the “SBS” version of the ROTAVISC me-vi. “SBS” stands for Steel Ball Bearing. In contrast to the more delicate sapphire bearing (“jewel bearing”), this technology is extremely resistant to mechanical stress. Resilient: The bearing is significantly more tolerant of impacts or rough handling during spindle changes. Durable: Ideal for laboratories with high sample throughput or changing staff, as downtime due to bearing damage is minimised. Range of application: Perfect for the medium viscosity range (“me-vi”, 100 to 40,000,000 mPas), which covers typical applications such as varnishes, paints, oils or foodstuffs. Precision and ease of use The viscometer itself impresses with state-of-the-art features. The 4.3" TFT display keeps all measured values clearly in view. The menu navigation is intuitive and supports functions such as ramping and timer control. A digital spirit level assists with correct alignment. The measurement accuracy of ± 1 % and the repeatability of ± 0.2 % (F.S.) meet high quality standards. The complete package for rheology This set (“Solution”) eliminates the need for the complex assembly of individual components. IKA supplies a fully integrated system: Viscosity meter: ROTAVISC SBS me-vi. Thermostat: CBC 5 basic (bath thermostat). Connection: A special stand and mounts ensure that the viscometer is perfectly positioned above the thermostat’s bath. Accessories: A suitable spindle set (SP set-2) is already included. Software integration (optional) Both the thermostat and the viscometer are equipped with USB and RS-232 interfaces. Using the optional labworldsoft software ®, you can link the devices and run and document complex temperature-viscosity profiles (rheograms) fully automatically.

IKA I-MAG Industrial Magnetic Stirrer 300 l, 0020014226
The IKA I-MAG is a high-performance industrial magnetic stirrer that bridges the gap between traditional laboratory equipment and process engineering production drives. The system is designed to reliably homogenise large volumes of up to 300 litres (in combination with the I-MAG SP mounting frame). A key feature is the structural separation of the drive unit and the control unit: whilst the drive achieves the high IP 64 protection rating thanks to a sealed stainless steel housing – meaning it can be safely installed in harsh, damp or corrosive environments – the control unit (IP 22) can be positioned flexibly. Drive technology and process reliability Inside the I-MAG is a wear-free motor which drives the stirring element via a magnetic coupling featuring high-performance neodymium magnets. This coupling is strong enough to reliably handle even viscous media or stirring processes in double-walled vessels where the drive is located at a considerable distance. For critical processes, the I-MAG features intelligent safety functions: an adjustable start-up speed prevents the stirring rod from ‘breaking away’ during the acceleration phase. Should the magnetic coupling nevertheless break, the system detects this automatically (‘break detection’) and notifies the user. Connectivity and Integration The wired controller is not only used for manual control but also acts as a gateway for process automation. Equipped with USB, LAN, Wi-Fi and RS232 interfaces as well as analogue inputs and outputs, the I-MAG can be seamlessly integrated into networks or controlled via external signals (e.g. foot switches). Compatibility with laboratory software such as labworldsoft ® 6 also enables comprehensive documentation and remote control of complex stirring profiles.

IKA MATRIX Orbital Delta F0.5, thermal shaker set (0.5 ml) including pipette, 0010006255
Precision for the smallest volumes: IKA MATRIX Orbital Delta F0.5 The IKA MATRIX Orbital Delta F0.5 (MPN 0010006255) is the specialist in the Matrix range for working with 0.5 ml reaction vessels. In molecular biology, genetics and forensics, precious samples are often processed in small quantities – whether for PCR reactions, enzyme restriction or the storage of oligonucleotides. For these sensitive applications, you need a thermal shaker that not only maintains precise temperature control but also effectively mixes even the smallest volumes of liquid without wetting the vessel walls. This instrument offers exactly that: a permanently integrated block for 24 x 0.5 ml vessels, combined with powerful heating and mixing performance. As part of the complete set, you also receive the ergonomic IKA PETTE vario pipette, which is perfectly matched to the volume range. Fixed block (F0.5) for maximum performance Why does IKA use a fixed block (“Fixed”) rather than an interchangeable system for this model? The answer lies in the physics of heat transfer and mechanical stability. Direct temperature control: With 0.5 ml vessels, the surface-to-volume ratio is very high. The aluminium block, which is firmly connected to the heating element, encloses the small tubes with a precise fit. As there are no insulating air gaps between the heating plate and the adapter, the heat energy reaches the sample extremely quickly and evenly. Higher speeds: Thanks to its robust design and lower moving mass compared to larger attachments, the Delta F0.5 enables speeds of up to 2,000 rpm. This is crucial for generating turbulent mixing within the narrow 0.5 ml vials, ensuring homogeneous reaction conditions. Smooth operation: The secure fit prevents vibrations and resonance, making the unit pleasantly quiet even at maximum speed. Heating and mixing to perfection The ‘Delta’ suffix in the name refers to the active heating function. The instrument covers a temperature range from room temperature (+4 °C) to 100 °C. Fast heating rates: At approx. 15 °C/min (depending on the load), you can quickly reach your target temperature, reducing waiting times in the laboratory. Precise control: The electronic control system maintains a stable temperature with an accuracy of ± 0.5 °C. This is essential for temperature-sensitive enzymatic reactions. Efficient mixing: The 3 mm orbital shaking stroke ensures that liquids are effectively mixed without droplets clinging to the lid (centrifugal effect at high speeds). Includes liquid handling package Don’t just buy a piece of equipment – buy a solution. This set includes the IKA PETTE vario 100–1000 µl. This pipette is a robust precision instrument with a DLC-coated piston and an autoclavable shaft. It is ideal for dispensing buffers or master mixes. Thanks to the interchangeable grips supplied, it can be ergonomically adapted to any hand size. Intuitive operation for everyday laboratory use The IKA MATRIX Orbital Delta F0.5 has been developed for users who want to focus on their research, not on the technology. Clear display: The large TFT display shows all relevant parameters (speed, time, temperature) at a glance. Programmable ramps: Create automatic sequences. Example: “Mix for 30 seconds at 2,000 rpm, then heat to 55 °C for 1 hour, then cool down.” The unit carries out these steps automatically, which improves the reproducibility of your experiments. Timer function: From 1 second to 6,000 minutes – or continuous operation. You have full control over the process time. Robustness and design Like all devices in the Matrix series, the F0.5 features a solid die-cast aluminium housing. This ensures it stands extremely securely on the laboratory bench and protects the electronics from spilled liquids (IP 21 protection rating). The smooth surfaces and the integrated design, which has no areas where dirt can accumulate, make cleaning and disinfection considerably easier. Applications Genetics: Preparation of PCR samples in 0.5 ml tubes. Protein chemistry: Denaturation of proteins in small volumes. Microbiology: Cultivation of small primary cultures under defined temperature conditions. With the IKA MATRIX Orbital Delta F0.5, you get a high-performance package specifically tailored to the requirements of microvolume processing.

IKA INC 125 FCS digital (SP25), cooling and shaking incubator, 125 L, 0020136638
Thermodynamic Cybernetics and Compressor Cooling The cultivation of thermolabile cells or microbiological matrices requires highly precise, cybernetically controlled temperature regulation. The IKA INC 125 FCS digital operates using high-performance compressor cooling technology that utilises the thermodynamically highly efficient, bio-based refrigerant R290 (propane). The PID control system modulates the heating and cooling units in real time to maintain the 125-litre chamber volume at an absolutely isothermal temperature within a working range of 5 °C to 80 °C (when the shaking function is active). The integrated air circulation system (reversibly controllable from 40 to 100 per cent) generates a constant convective flow. This prevents the formation of thermal stratification (gradients) inside the chamber and guarantees metrological temperature homogeneity of ± 0.3 K across all potential cultivation levels. Kinetics of macro-orbital mass transfer (SP25) The physical limitation on oxygen supply is the primary process-related bottleneck in aerobic high-density cultures in large-volume reaction vessels. The suffix “SP25” defines the specific mechanical architecture of this model: the integrated shaking platform performs an extended orbital rotation with a substantial oscillation amplitude (stroke) of 25 mm. Driven by the direct drive (10 to 300 rpm), this enhanced kinematics induces significant hydrodynamic vectors in the liquid phase. This wide stroke is rheologically ideal for use in large Erlenmeyer flasks (> 1 litre), as it significantly maximises the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa value) even at low to medium speeds, without exerting excessive shear forces on the cell walls. A fundamental innovation is the process reversibility: the shaking platform can be removed without tools, thereby deactivating the motion and extending the operating range to function as a static cooling incubator up to 100 °C. System hermeticity and thermal decontamination The absolute prevention of biological cross-contamination (such as stray spores or foreign DNA) is essential in high-throughput analysis. The welded inner chamber of the INC 125 FCS is manufactured from solid, corrosion-resistant stainless steel (AISI 304). The generous radii of the chamber edges physically prevent the accumulation of microbial biofilms. To guarantee complete sterility of the system between critical batch changes, the system features an automated decontamination mode. This process heats the entire chamber geometry in a controlled manner to 100 °C, thereby irreversibly denaturing the protein structure of potential biological contaminants. An integrated defrost function via a continuous drain protects the matrix from thermodynamically insulating ice formation during low-temperature incubations.

Individual requirements & accessories The INC 125 FCS digital (SP25) is the basic cybernetic module. Due to the substantial 25 mm stroke, the absolute fixation of the reaction vessels at high speeds is physically essential. To effectively transfer the kinetic energy to your sample matrices, the shaking platform must be fitted with the corresponding fixing modules. For large-volume Erlenmeyer flasks, precisely fitting stainless steel retaining clamps are required to prevent torsional breakage of the glassware. For asymmetrical vessels, we recommend the universal STICKMAX adhesive mat.
