Product information "IKA LR 1000.1 laboratory reactor vessel, vacuum reactor vessel, 1,000 ml, 0003602000"
Anyone working with the IKA LR-1000 system will eventually need a reactor vessel, as the base unit and drive alone are not enough. The LR 1000.1 is precisely this vessel: a 1,000-ml glass container with a lid, an anchor stirrer and an integrated vacuum tap, compatible with the LR 1000 basic and LR 1000 control systems.
Vessel for the LR-1000 systems
The vessel has a maximum capacity of 1,000 ml and is designed for medium temperatures of up to 120 °C. Together with the LR 1000 basic system or the LR 1000 control system, it forms a complete reactor; the base unit provides the drive and heating, whilst the glass vessel serves as the reaction chamber. Typical applications include the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, where smaller batches are mixed or dispersed under controlled conditions. The 1,000 ml size is particularly suitable for formulation development and preliminary trials, where the amount of material used should remain manageable before a formulation is scaled up to larger batches.
Lid, vacuum tap and anchor stirrer
The lid has three NS 14 sockets and one NS 29 socket; two NS 14 and one NS 29 opening are sealed with glass stoppers and clamps when not in use. An NS 14 vacuum tap is already integrated and allows the vessel to be evacuated directly, for example for bubble-free degassing or for reactions under an inert atmosphere. The scope of delivery also includes the LR 1000.11 anchor stirrer made of stainless steel; the parts in contact with the product are made of AISI 316L, borosilicate glass 3.3, PTFE and FPM. The drive connects to the base unit via a standardised stirrer shaft coupling; it is therefore possible to switch between the LR 1000 basic and LR 1000 control systems without any modifications to the vessel.
Material resistance
Borosilicate glass 3.3 is the standardised designation for chemically resistant laboratory glassware and is resistant not only to most acids and alkalis but also to rapid temperature changes. AISI 316L is used for the metal components because this stainless steel is more corrosion-resistant than standard chromium steels and is therefore suitable for repeated contact with various reaction media. The FPM and PTFE seals round off the material concept, with PTFE being used primarily where particularly broad solvent resistance is required. This combination of materials is sufficient for most standard applications in laboratories and formulation development; however, for highly aggressive speciality chemicals, it is advisable to consult the manufacturer’s chemical resistance table before use.
Typical applications
- Mixing, dispersing and homogenising on a laboratory scale using the LR-1000 system
- Formulation development in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals
- Reactions under vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere
- Preliminary scale-up trials prior to production

Use and care
The vessel can be completely separated from the lid for cleaning; all parts in contact with the medium can be dismantled. Before use under vacuum, it is advisable to carry out a brief visual inspection of the standard ground joints and seals; otherwise, a scratch or a trace of grease on the ground joint will impair vacuum performance. For highly viscous media that adhere strongly to the walls, the LR 1000.3 is available as a variant with a flow scraper on the anchor stirrer; for more fluid media, the standard anchor stirrer supplied here is generally sufficient.
Individual requirements and procurement service
The LR-1000 range also includes other anchor stirrers, the standard stirrer LR 1000.11 made of stainless steel as a spare part and the LR 1000.10 with PEEK scrapers for media that adhere strongly to walls, plus the LR 1000.20 flow breaker to prevent the formation of vortices in the vessel. Through our procurement service, we can help you choose the right drive, agitator and other accessories for your LR-1000 system, even if you’re still unsure which combination is best suited to your application.
Frequently Asked Questions

5.42 kg, excluding the drive and base unit.
Fits
The IKA LR 1000 control System (MPN 0025001991) is a compact laboratory reactor with a working volume of up to 1,000 millilitres, which combines stirring, heating and digital process documentation in a single unit. Unlike the simpler LR 1000 basic System, this model features a large TFT display showing all process values, supplemented by a connection for external pH measurement and digital interfaces for PC connectivity. The system is suitable for stirring and heating processes involving media with a viscosity of up to 100,000 mPas and operating temperatures of up to 120 °C, for example in chemical synthesis, formulation development or quality control. Thanks to the additional sensor technology, reactions can be monitored and documented much more closely than with a simple magnetic stirrer. Anchor stirrer with PEEK scrapers and torque trend measurement The supplied LR 1000.10 anchor stirrer is fitted with PEEK scrapers which continuously glide along the inner wall of the reactor vessel, thereby preventing product from depositing on the heated glass wall. The speed range extends from 10 to 150 revolutions per minute at a nominal torque of 3 Nm, suitable for media with a viscosity of up to 100,000 mPas. An integrated torque trend measurement indicates how the consistency of the stirred material changes during the process, for example when a solution becomes increasingly viscous or a solid dissolves. Heated reactor vessel with precise temperature control The LR 1000.3 reactor vessel has a maximum capacity of 1,000 millilitres; with a dispersing tool fitted, the minimum volume is 500 millilitres. The heating element at the base of the vessel has a heating power of 1,000 watts and heats the medium to operating temperatures of up to 120 °C, whilst the heating plate itself can reach temperatures of up to 180 °C. The supplied PT 100.30 temperature sensor measures the medium temperature with a resolution of 0.1 Kelvin; the control accuracy is ±0.2 Kelvin, and the setting accuracy is ±1 Kelvin. TFT display, pH connection and digital interfaces A large TFT display shows speed, temperature and other process values in real time. An external pH electrode can be connected via a BNC socket, covering a measurement range from 0 to 14 pH with a resolution of 0.1 pH, allowing acid-base reactions to be monitored directly in the reaction vessel. In addition, the system features an integrated weighing function with a weighing range of up to 2,000 grams at a resolution of 1 gram. An RS 232 interface, a USB port (Micro-B) and Bluetooth are available for connection to a PC for process documentation. Vacuum operation and safety concept The system is designed for operation under vacuum down to 25 mbar; a vacuum valve assembly controls the connection to a vacuum pump. Two hose connections also allow an external cooling medium with a minimum temperature of 3 °C to be connected, for example to cool exothermic reactions in a controlled manner. An adjustable safety circuit monitors the temperature within a range of 47 to 225 °C with a tolerance of ±10 to ±20 Kelvin and automatically switches off the heating if necessary. If the reactor vessel or lid is removed during operation, a safety shut-off is triggered immediately. Difference from the LR 1000 basic System Within the LR 1000 series, the control System is the version with more comprehensive data logging: Whilst the simpler LR 1000 basic System is primarily designed for stirring and heating, the control System adds pH measurement, an integrated weighing function and digital interfaces for process documentation. Anyone requiring comprehensive documentation of temperature, pH and torque curves, for example for internal quality records, is better served by this version than by the basic model. Typical applications The LR 1000 control System is suitable for stirring, heating and documentation tasks on a 1-litre scale, wherever process data needs to be recorded in a traceable manner: Chemical syntheses with temperature control and concurrent pH monitoring Formulation development in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries involving process parameters subject to documentation requirements Vacuum-assisted concentration or degassing of solutions and dispersions Polymerisation experiments in which torque trends and viscosity increases are to be monitored simultaneously Quality control with documented temperature and pH profiles for internal release processes Practical courses and further training in which students learn how to operate a fully equipped laboratory reactor Formulation screening, in which several batches with different temperature profiles are compared sequentially Technical details Max. usable volume1,000 ml Minimum volume with dispersing tool500 ml Speed range10 to 150 rpm Rated torque3 Nm Max. viscosity100,000 mPas Operating temperature (medium) max.120 °C Max. heating temperature (heating plate)180 °C Heating power1,000 W Control accuracy (medium)±0.2 K Setting accuracy of target temperature±1 K Achievable vacuum25 mbar Weighing rangeup to 2,000 g, resolution 1 g pH measurement range0 to 14 pH, resolution 0.1 pH Material (parts in contact with the medium)Borosilicate glass 3.3, AISI 316L stainless steel, PEEK, PTFE, FFPM Connections on reactor lid2 x NS 29, 2 x NS 14, 2 x GL 14 DisplayTFT display InterfacesRS 232, USB (Micro-B), Bluetooth Dimensions (W x H x D)443 x 360 x 295 mm Weightapprox. 23 kg Mains voltage230 V, 50/60 Hz Power consumption1,200 W Permissible ambient temperature5 to 40 °C Permissible relative humiditymax. 80 % Scope of delivery 1 x IKA LR 1000 control base station 1 x LR 1000.3 reactor vessel 1 x LR 1000.10 anchor stirrer with PEEK scrapers 1 x PT 100.30 temperature probe with mounting bracket 1 x support rod, 16 mm diameter 2 x hose connectors for cooling medium 1 x USB cable (USB-A to Micro-B, 2 m) Individual requirements and procurement service To help you expand your LR 1000 control System, our procurement service can assist you with additional accessories, such as a pH electrode with a BNC connector, further reactor vessels or dispersing tools for the open lid ports.

For stirring and heating processes on the 1-litre scale that do not require pH measurement or digital process documentation, the IKA LR 1000 basic System laboratory reactor (MPN 20119960) offers the basic equipment of the LR 1000 reactor platform. It processes media with a viscosity of up to 100,000 mPas in a working volume of up to 1000 millilitres and heats the medium to working temperatures of up to 120 °C. As the entry-level version of the LR 1000 series, it suits laboratories that need a compact, heated laboratory reactor without the additional sensors of the LR 1000 control System. Operation therefore stays reduced to the essentials: set the speed, set the temperature, stir. Speed control up to 100,000 mPas The speed range of the LR 1000 basic System extends from 10 to 150 revolutions per minute at a rated torque of 3 Nm, with a maximum speed deviation of ±5 revolutions per minute. This allows media with a viscosity of up to 100,000 mPas to be stirred in a controlled way. The system is designed for continuous operation at 100 % duty cycle, so longer reactions or multi-hour stirring processes can be run without interruption. Heated reactor vessel with 1000 millilitres working volume The reactor vessel holds a maximum of 1000 millilitres. With a dispersing tool the minimum volume is 500 millilitres, without a dispersing tool it is 300 millilitres. The heater delivers a heating power of 1000 watts and warms the medium to up to 120 °C, while the heating plate itself can reach temperatures of up to 180 °C. Temperature control works with an accuracy of ±0.2 kelvin at the medium and a setting accuracy of ±1 kelvin for the target temperature. The system is also designed for vacuum operation down to 25 mbar. Compact design with connection for external temperature probes With dimensions of 443 x 360 x 295 millimetres and a weight of around 22 kilograms, the LR 1000 basic System fits into a modest footprint in the laboratory. An external temperature probe can be connected via a PT100 connection, and two additional hose nozzles allow connection of an external cooling medium, for example to cool exothermic reactions in a controlled way. An RS 232 interface and a USB port are available for connection to a PC. Material and resistance The media-contacting parts are made of borosilicate glass 3.3, stainless steel AISI 316L, PTFE and PEEK. The seals are made of FKM and, together with the chemically resistant glass, make the system suitable for both aqueous and solvent-based batches. The permissible ambient temperature is 5 to 40 °C, the permissible relative humidity a maximum of 80 %. Vacuum operation for degassing and solvent-free working In addition to classic stirring and heating at normal pressure, the LR 1000 basic System can also be operated under vacuum down to 25 mbar. This is helpful, for example, when air bubbles are to be removed from a viscous formulation, or when a solvent is to be removed gently at reduced pressure and therefore lower temperature, instead of heating the medium to its boiling point at normal pressure. Difference from the LR 1000 control System The basic System covers the basic stirring and heating functions of the LR 1000 series, but omits the TFT display, pH measurement, integrated weighing function and Bluetooth connection of the LR 1000 control System. For applications where pure temperature and speed control without additional measurement data acquisition is sufficient, the basic System is therefore the more economical choice within the series. Typical applications The LR 1000 basic System is suitable for stirring and heating processes on the 1-litre scale without additional documentation requirements, wherever a solid basic equipment level is sufficient: Stirring and heating reaction batches in chemical synthesis Homogenising and temperature-controlling creams, gels and emulsions in cosmetics development Vacuum-assisted degassing or concentrating of solutions Formulation development in early pharmaceutical development Practical courses and training in which the basic handling of a heated laboratory reactor is taught Routine processes in which temperature and speed must be kept constant and no pH measurement is required Smaller batches in materials development where external temperature monitoring via PT100 is sufficient Preliminary trials to test new recipes before a process is transferred to the more extensively equipped control System Technical details Max. working volume1,000 ml Min. volume with dispersing tool500 ml Min. volume without dispersing tool300 ml Speed range10 to 150 rpm Speed deviationmax. ±5 rpm Rated torque3 Nm Max. viscosity100,000 mPas Working temperature (medium) max.120 °C Heating temperature (heating plate) max.180 °C Heating power1,000 W Control accuracy (medium)±0.2 K Setting accuracy target temperature±1 K Achievable vacuum25 mbar Permissible duty cycle100 % Material (media-contacting parts)Borosilicate glass 3.3, stainless steel AISI 316L, PTFE, PEEK, FKM InterfacesRS 232, USB Connection for external temperature probePT100 Dimensions (W x H x D)443 x 360 x 295 mm Weightapprox. 22 kg Permissible ambient temperature5 to 40 °C Permissible relative humiditymax. 80 % Scope of delivery 1 x IKA LR 1000 basic base station 1 x Reactor vessel 1 x Sensor holder 1 x Temperature probe 1 x Stand rod 2 x Hose nozzles for cooling medium Individual requirements and procurement service To extend the LR 1000 basic System, we support you through our procurement service with additional accessories, for example further reactor vessels, dispersing tools or a move to the more extensively equipped LR 1000 control System.
