IKA Plate (RCT digital), magnetic stirrer with heating, 20 l, aluminium alloy, 0025004601

Precision and durability for the highest laboratory standards

The IKA Plate (RCT digital) epitomises reliability and technological excellence in the modern laboratory. With its powerful stirring capacity of up to 20 litres (H₂O) and its distinctive round base plate made from a special aluminium alloy, this magnetic stirrer sets new standards in heat distribution and chemical resistance. As proof of its outstanding quality, IKA offers a lifetime guarantee on this model – a unique selling point that ensures long-term investment security for research and industry.

Intelligent sensor technology and integrated safety

The RCT digital impresses with its high-precision temperature control, which is operated directly via the clear LCD display. Thanks to the PT 1000 external temperature sensor included in the scope of delivery, the medium temperature can be monitored and controlled with the highest accuracy. An adjustable safety circuit for the hotplate temperature also ensures that critical limit values are never exceeded. The integrated ‘Hot Top’ indicator warns the user of hot surfaces, even when the unit is switched off, which significantly enhances safety in day-to-day laboratory work.

Ergonomics and connectivity in the modern laboratory

The housing of the IKA Plate (RCT digital) is made of toughened glass, which not only offers excellent chemical resistance but also simplifies cleaning. The intuitive user interface allows quick access to all parameters, whilst the USB and RS 232 interfaces enable direct connection to software solutions such as labworldsoft ®. This enables the digital documentation and control of complex test series. With its compact design and robust IP 42 protection rating, this magnetic stirrer is the professional choice for demanding users who refuse to compromise on performance and safety.
