IKA C-MAG HP 10 hotplate, with glass-ceramic work surface, 0003582000

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. Ergonomic touch-screen control concept and documentation The instrument’s exterior breaks away from complicated analogue designs and features a user-friendly, clear touchscreen display for intuitive parameter configuration during continuous operation. The almost completely enclosed system reliably protects the internal electronic components from aggressive vapours and liquids in the harsh everyday laboratory environment. A future-proof, integrated USB-C interface also enables the rapid, error-free export of all transient measurement data to a PC, thereby ensuring seamless documentation, validation and traceability of your processes in accordance with modern GLP standards.

A heated magnetic stirrer can only control temperature as precisely as the connected external sensor measures it. The IKA PT 1000.60 (MPN 0003516800) is an immersion sensor made from stainless steel 1.4571 with a PT1000 sensor of tolerance class A, covering a measuring range from -20 °C to +350 °C.With a response time t9/10 of 10 seconds, the sensor reacts quickly to temperature changes in the medium, which matters for exothermic reactions or fast heating ramps that need reliable control. The 1050 mm cable allows flexible placement of the stirrer relative to the vessel without the sensor restricting work at the stand.CompatibilityOfficial accessory for the IKA RCT basic anodised magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0020133785), RET basic magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0025008265) and RET basic anodised magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0020133787). For the IKA RH lite magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0020007108) the sensor is NOT listed, as this model is deliberately built without an external sensor connection according to the manufacturer's description.Technical detailsSensor typeImmersion sensorSensor elementPT1000 (DIN IEC 751 Class A)Measuring accuracy± (0.15 + 0.2 % of reading) KResponse time t9/1010 secondsTemperature measuring range-20 °C to +350 °CProbe tube materialStainless steel 1.4571Probe tube diameter3 mmProbe tube length254 mmMin. immersion depth20 mmCable length1050 mmWeight0.025 kgContents of the package1 x IKA PT 1000.60 temperature sensor (MPN 0003516800).Individual requirements & procurement serviceFor mechanically mounting sensor and stirrer on a stand we also carry matching support rods and cross clamps.
