Part of the IKA Specials Q4/2026, valid until 31 December 2026. The crossed-out price is IKA's recommended list price. Our promotional price is net.The IKA RCT basic anodised magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0020133785) extends the RCT range with an anodised aluminium base plate. With 800 watts of heating power, a maximum stirring capacity of up to 20 litres of water and a sealed die-cast aluminium housing rated IP 54, the unit suits laboratory applications that need fast, direct heat transfer without a thick barrier layer, for example demanding chemical reactions, syntheses and thermal processes in industrial and academic laboratories. Maximum thermal conductivity from the anodised base The key feature of this model is the circular base plate, 135 mm in diameter, made from anodised aluminium. Compared with conventional ceramic coatings, the anodised metal surface gives high, direct thermal conductivity, which shortens heating times in daily lab work because energy reaches the vessel with little loss. The anodised layer protects the aluminium underneath from abrasion, scratches and a wide range of solvents, which keeps performance consistent over years of routine use. Precise kinetics and temperature control The control electronics of the RCT basic anodised allow stepless speed adjustment from 50 to 1,500 revolutions per minute, set via a rotary push button control with a setting accuracy of 10 rpm. The LED display shows setpoint and actual values for speed and temperature at all times. For temperature-sensitive media, the unit has a socket for external PT1000 series sensors as well as the ETS-D5 and ETS-D7 contact thermometers. With PT1000 or ETS-D5, medium temperature can be controlled to an accuracy of ±0.5 K, and this improves to ±0.2 K with the ETS-D7 or the wireless PT.Wireless sensor. Using ETS-D7 or PT.Wireless also gives an optional pH reading of the medium. Robust housing and safety concept The electronics sit inside a sealed die-cast aluminium housing rated IP 54, which protects the motor and control boards from splashing water and aggressive vapours during continuous operation. An independently adjustable safety circuit (50 to 360 degrees Celsius) monitors the maximum heating plate temperature and switches off the heater if an unexpected overtemperature occurs. A visual residual heat indicator also warns staff of the burn risk until the surface has cooled down. For the first time, the RCT basic anodised has an integrated menu with a timer function: the freely programmable timer starts either immediately or once the target temperature is reached and signals the end of the run with an audible tone, and heating and stirring can be switched off independently of each other. At 160 x 100 x 200 mm (W x H x D) and a net weight of 2.3 kg, the unit stays compact enough to run several units side by side in the fume hood. Typical applications The anodised base plate and the connection options for external temperature sensors make the RCT basic anodised a versatile stirrer for laboratory applications in research and industrial quality control: Chemical syntheses and reactions that need fast, direct heat transfer through the anodised aluminium plate Homogenising and heating larger volumes of up to 20 litres of water Precise temperature control in the medium with PT1000, ETS-D5, ETS-D7 or the wireless PT.Wireless sensor Routine work in quality control and research where short heating times of up to 9 K/min matter Continuous laboratory use thanks to IP 54 protection against splashing water and vapours Technical details Number of stirring positions1 Max. stirring volume (water)20 litres Maximum load25 kg MotorBrushless DC motor (EC), 9 W output Speed range50 to 1500 rpm Speed controlStepless via rotary push button Speed setting accuracy10 rpm Stirring bar length20 to 80 mm Heating power800 W Heating plate temperature rangeRoom temperature to 310 °C Temperature setting resolution1 K (heating plate), 0.1 K (actual value display) Adjustable safety circuit50 to 360 °C Heating rate (1 l water, H1500)9 K/min Control accuracy with PT1000±0.5 K Control accuracy with ETS-D5±0.5 K Control accuracy with ETS-D7 or PT.Wireless±0.2 K Control accuracy at heating plate centre without vessel (100 °C)±5 K Self-heating of the base plate (RT 22 °C, 1 h stirring)max. +12 K Base plate materialAnodised aluminium Base plate diameterØ 135 mm Overall dimensions (W x H x D)160 x 100 x 200 mm Net weight2.3 kg Protection class per DIN EN 60529IP 54 DisplayLED display for setpoint and actual values Connection for external sensorPT1000 series, ETS-D5, ETS-D7, PT.Wireless Timer1 second to 5,999 minutes Digital interfacesRS232 and USB-C WPAN interfaceoptional via USB WD dongle pH measurementoptional with ETS-D7 or PT.Wireless Power consumption820 W, standby 0.45 W Power supply220 to 230 V, 50/60 Hz Contents 1 x IKA RCT basic anodised magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN: 0020133785) 1 x mains lead 1 x Detailed operating instructions / safety guide Customised requirements & accessories IKA provides a manufacturer's warranty for the RCT basic anodised of 2 years, extended to 10 years if the device is registered at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.

Part of the IKA Specials Q4/2026, valid until 31 December 2026. The crossed-out price is IKA's recommended list price. Our promotional price is net.The new IKA RET basic anodised magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0020133787) represents a technological milestone, setting a completely new industry standard for comprehensive digitalisation, process reliability and process efficiency in the modern laboratory. As currently the most compact device in its performance class on the global market, this high-end mechatronic stirring drive delivers an outstanding heating output of 800 watts at a maximum operating temperature of 340 °C. The system has been specially developed for forward-looking B2B laboratory set-ups, where uncompromising mechanical resilience and maximum functional density must be combined with intuitive, error-free operation during continuous daily use. Compact assembly with maximum power density and anodised protection The materials science foundation of the 135 mm footprint is based on a highly conductive aluminium substrate featuring an energetically insulated design. This enables extreme heating rates of up to 9 K/min with absolutely homogeneous temperature distribution. For long-term protection against mechanical abrasion, deep scratches and highly aggressive chemical reagents, the surface is sealed with a specialised anodised coating. Despite this enormous power density, the instrument boasts an ultra-compact housing design measuring just 160 x 200 x 100 mm. The stirrer thus saves valuable space in the fume cupboard, can be easily positioned on any standard laboratory lifting platform and is ideally suited to complex, parallel experimental set-ups in the most confined spaces. Forward-looking laboratory digitalisation via integrated network interfaces To ensure seamless, barrier-free integration into networked Industry 4.0 laboratory infrastructures and automated documentation projects, the RET basic is equipped as standard with fully-fledged Wi-Fi and LAN interfaces. This technological system architecture allows the magnetic stirrer to be connected to a central network, monitored in real time, controlled remotely or integrated directly into higher-level software solutions. Direct device-to-device communication is also possible via the digital communication matrix, which is based on standardised, ASCII-based Namur commands. For example, the RET basic can be coupled with an IKA Eurostar overhead stirrer: if the stirring speed of the viscous medium falls below a critical threshold, the RET basic deactivates the heating system fully automatically – the fundamental prerequisite for reliable, unattended 24/7 continuous operation. Maximum electrical safety in accordance with EN IEC 61010-2-010 and 18 safety features With a total of 18 integrated safety features, the RET basic meets and exceeds the strict laboratory equipment standard EN IEC 61010-2-010 for heated laboratory equipment in all critical parameters. System safety is certified by an independent certificate from TÜV Süd in accordance with the internationally recognised NRTL standard (equivalent to UL and CSA). In addition to a self-contained, mechanically adjustable safety circuit via two separate plate sensors, the unit features innovative Delta-T medium monitoring, probe breakage and misalignment detection, as well as automatic heating shut-off in the event of a sudden drop in temperature (e.g. due to glass breakage). In the event of a safety shutdown, the integrated ‘Always Stir’ function is activated: heating is stopped whilst stirring remains active, thereby reliably preventing dangerous boiling delays or transient hotspots in the medium.

Part of the IKA Specials Q4/2026, valid until 31 December 2026. The crossed-out price is IKA's recommended list price. Our promotional price is net.The IKA RCT basic magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0025008259) is one of the most widely used laboratory instruments in the world and has stood for reliable stirring and heating for decades. The current generation covers the full range of typical laboratory tasks, from preparing small reagent quantities to stirring larger volumes, with a stirring capacity of up to 20 litres of water, a heating power of 800 watts and a speed range of 50 to 1,500 revolutions per minute. The 135 mm aluminium base plate gives even heat distribution, and the IP 54 protection class keeps the unit safe from splashing water during continuous use. Powerful drive and precise speed control The magnetic drive of the RCT basic covers a stepless speed range from 50 to 1,500 revolutions per minute, set via a rotary push button control with a setting accuracy of 10 rpm. Stirring bars from 20 to 80 mm in length can be used, so the unit suits small beakers as well as larger vessels with a load of up to 25 kg. The drive is a brushless DC motor with 9 watts of output power and keeps a constant speed even at higher viscosities, without a noticeable change in the stirring pattern as the load increases. With the optional IKA HUB, automatic reverse rotation and intermittent operation can also be activated, for example to loosen deposits on the stirring bar or to automate recurring stirring cycles. Aluminium base plate and glass control panel The base plate of the RCT basic is made from an aluminium alloy with a diameter of 135 mm and gives fast, even heat transfer during heating. The control panel with its glass surface is easy to clean even with frequent contact with chemicals. The housing is protected to IP 54 against splashing water and dust, a clear step up from the IP 42 rating of the previous generation, and this makes it suitable for wet areas and washing stations in the lab as well. Heating power and safety concept for continuous operation With a heating power of 800 watts, the RCT basic heats one litre of water by 9 kelvin per minute in heating stage H1500, noticeably faster than the 600 watts and 6.5 kelvin per minute of the previous generation, and reaches temperatures from room temperature up to 310 degrees Celsius, adjustable in steps of 1 kelvin. The safety temperature range can be set independently between 50 and 360 degrees Celsius with a tolerance of 5 degrees Celsius and switches off the heater immediately on an unexpected overtemperature. If the unit is switched off while the heating plate is still above 50 degrees Celsius, the display alternates between the warning "HOT" and the current plate temperature until the plate has cooled to a safe level. Combined with the supplied external PT1000 temperature sensor, control accuracy in the medium reaches ±0.5 kelvin; with an optional IKA ETS-D5 contact thermometer it stays at ±0.5 kelvin, and with the ETS-D7 or the wireless PT.Wireless sensor it improves to ±0.2 kelvin. The ETS-D7 or PT.Wireless sensor also allows an optional pH reading of the medium on the RCT basic. Digital display and interfaces for process documentation An LED display shows setpoint and actual values for speed and temperature in real time, so the process can be monitored at all times. Via the digital USB-C and RS232 interfaces, the RCT basic can be connected to a PC and documented, for example, with the labworldsoft laboratory software. For external temperature measurement, a socket is available for the PT1000 series as well as the ETS-D5 and ETS-D7 electronic contact thermometers, and an optional USB WD dongle also connects the wireless PT.Wireless sensor via WPAN. A built-in timer covers times from 1 second to 5,999 minutes, and a sensor-in-medium detection reports once the temperature probe is actually immersed in the medium. When the RCT basic is controlled externally via IKA HUB or labworldsoft, the device controls can be locked with the safeSTOP function, and the display then shows "safeSTOP". Power supply is 220 to 230 volts at 50 or 60 hertz, with power consumption of 820 watts in operation and 0.45 watts in standby. Compact format for parallel use At 160 x 100 x 200 mm (width x height x depth) and a net weight of 2.3 kg, the RCT basic takes up little space on the bench or in the fume hood. Its compact format makes it easier to run several units in parallel, for example when quality control or research work needs several batches stirred and heated at the same time. Because the stirrer and the heater are combined in one unit, there is no need to set up separate stirring and heating devices, which saves bench space and reduces cabling at the workstation. Typical applications As a base unit for stirring and heating liquid media, the RCT basic is used across a wide range of laboratory settings, from routine analysis to synthesis: Preparing and heating buffers, nutrient solutions and reagents in the routine lab Chemical syntheses with defined temperature control, for example reflux boiling or dissolving solids Homogenising larger volumes of solution thanks to a stirring capacity of up to 20 litres of water, for example stock solutions in quality control Sample preparation with external temperature monitoring via PT1000, ETS-D5, ETS-D7 or PT.Wireless, for example during digestion or extraction Use at wet workstations and washing areas thanks to IP 54 protection against splashing water Training and teaching in chemistry and pharmacy, where robust, easy-to-use instruments are needed Technical details Number of stirring positions1 Max. stirring volume per position (H2O)20 litres Maximum load25 kg Speed range50 to 1500 rpm Speed adjustmentStepless via rotary push button Speed setting accuracy10 rpm Max. stirring bar length20 to 80 mm Motor typeBrushless DC motor (EC), 9 W output Heating power800 W Heating temperature rangeRoom temperature to 310 °C Temperature setting resolution1 K (heating plate), 0.1 K (actual value display) Adjustable safety temperature range50 to 360 °C ± 5 °C Heating rate (1 l H2O, stage H1500)9 K/min Control accuracy with PT1000± 0.5 K Control accuracy with ETS-D5± 0.5 K Control accuracy with ETS-D7 or PT.Wireless± 0.2 K Control accuracy at heating plate centre without vessel (100 °C)± 5 K Self-heating of the base plate (RT 22 °C, 1 h stirring)max. + 12 K Base plate materialAluminium alloy Base plate dimensionsØ 135 mm Overall dimensions (W x H x D)160 x 100 x 200 mm Net weight2.3 kg Protection class per DIN EN 60529IP 54 DisplayLED display for setpoint and actual values Connection for external sensorPT1000 series, ETS-D5, ETS-D7, PT.Wireless Timer1 second to 5,999 minutes Digital interfacesRS232 and USB-C WPAN interfaceoptional via USB WD dongle pH measurementoptional with ETS-D7 or PT.Wireless Safety systemsAdjustable safety circuit, HOT display warning, sensor-in-medium detection, safeSTOP function Power consumption820 W, standby 0.45 W Power supply220 to 230 V, 50/60 Hz Scope of delivery 1 x IKA RCT basic magnetic stirrer base unit (MPN 0025008259) 1 x IKA PT 1000.60 temperature sensor 1 x mains lead 1 x screwdriver for the safety circuit 1 set of IKAFLON 30 round and IKAFLON 40 round magnetic stirring bars 1 x quick start guide 1 x warranty card Matching accessories The RCT basic has a socket for external PT1000 series temperature sensors as well as the ETS-D5 and ETS-D7 contact thermometers, so it can be upgraded in a targeted way: IKA ETS-D5 electronic contact thermometer with touchscreen (MPN 0025008371) for finer temperature control, up to ±0.5 kelvin accuracy in the medium Further original accessories such as the wireless PT.Wireless temperature sensor, the ETS-D7 or the USB WD dongle for WPAN connection are available through our procurement service.

Our promotional price is net.The IKA RET basic magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0025008265) combines a heating power of 800 watts with a compact housing measuring 160 x 200 x 100 mm and integrated Wi-Fi and LAN interfaces. The aluminium base plate gives fast, direct heat transfer into the sample. For B2B laboratories with high safety and documentation requirements, the RET basic combines a fast heating rate, fine speed control and a comprehensive, standard-compliant safety concept for daily continuous use. Compact design with high power density and direct heat transfer The 135 mm base plate is made from an uncoated aluminium alloy, which gives particularly direct heat transfer with heating rates of up to 9 K/min and even temperature distribution, adjustable in four heating speed stages. Unlike the anodised RET basic anodised, this plate has no additional oxide-layer protection against scratches and chemicals, but the bare metal surface transfers heat without the small resistance a coating adds. Despite the high heating power of 800 watts, the housing stays ultra-compact at 160 x 200 x 100 mm. This saves space in the fume hood, fits on any standard laboratory lifting platform and suits parallel experimental setups in tight spaces. Networked laboratory processes via Wi-Fi and LAN For integration into networked laboratory infrastructure and automated documentation processes, the RET basic comes standard with Wi-Fi and LAN interfaces as well as the wired USB-C and RS232 interfaces. This connectivity allows the stirrer to be monitored centrally, controlled remotely or integrated into higher-level software systems, including via the IKA app. The communication interface, based on ASCII Namur commands, also allows direct device-to-device communication. The RET basic can, for example, be paired with an IKA overhead stirrer: if the stirring speed of the viscous medium falls below a critical threshold, the RET basic switches off the heating automatically, an important condition for reliable, unattended continuous operation. Comprehensive safety concept per EN IEC 61010-2-010 With 18 integrated safety features, the RET basic meets the EN IEC 61010-2-010 standard for heated laboratory equipment. System safety is further confirmed by a TÜV Süd certificate to the NRTL standard, comparable to UL and CSA. Besides a mechanically adjustable safety circuit (50 to 360 degrees Celsius) using two separate plate sensors, the unit has Delta-T medium monitoring, sensor break and misalignment detection, and automatic heating shut-off on a sudden temperature drop, for example from broken glassware. If a safety shut-off occurs, the Always Stir function keeps stirring active while heating stops, to prevent bumping or hot spots in the medium. A visual residual heat warning also protects against burns on surfaces above 50 degrees Celsius. Typical applications The combination of network connectivity, direct heat transfer and a comprehensive safety concept makes the RET basic a versatile instrument for digitalised laboratory environments: Networked laboratory processes with documentation requirements, thanks to integrated Wi-Fi and LAN Unattended continuous operation by pairing with an IKA overhead stirrer via Namur commands Demanding syntheses with high safety requirements, thanks to 18 safety features per EN IEC 61010-2-010 Mobile process monitoring via the IKA app Wet workstations that benefit from direct heat transfer through the uncoated aluminium plate Technical details Number of stirring positions1 Max. stirring volume (water)20 litres Maximum load25 kg MotorBrushless DC motor (EC), 9 W output Speed range50 to 1700 rpm Speed setting accuracy10 rpm Heating power800 W Heating plate temperature rangeRoom temperature to 340 °C Maximum heating rateup to 9 K/min Heating speed4 individually adjustable stages Control accuracy with PT1000 or ETS-D5±0.5 K Control accuracy with ETS-D7 or PT.Wireless±0.2 K Base plate diameter135 mm Base plate materialAluminium alloy, uncoated Network interfacesWi-Fi and LAN Wired data interfacesUSB-C and RS232 Communication standardASCII-based Namur commands App connectivityIKA app Timer1 second to 5,999 minutes pH measurementoptional with ETS-D7 or PT.Wireless Standards complianceEN IEC 61010-2-010, TÜV Süd NRTL-tested (UL/CSA standard) Number of safety features18 Adjustable safety circuit50 to 360 °C Medium safety functionDelta-T monitoring Bumping protectionAlways Stir function Burn protectionVisual residual heat warning above 50 °C surface temperature Display technology14-segment glass display Housing materialSealed die-cast aluminium housing Protection class per DIN EN 60529IP 54 Dimensions (W x D x H)160 x 200 x 100 mm Net weight2.3 kg Power supply220 to 230 V, 50/60 Hz OriginMade in Germany Scope of delivery1 x IKA RET basic magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0025008265)1 x PT 1000.60 temperature sensor, stainless steel1 x H 801 x IKAFLON 30 magnetic stirring bar1 x IKAFLON 40 magnetic stirring bar1 x screwdriver1 x mains cable1 x operating instructions Customised requirements & accessories IKA provides a manufacturer's warranty for the RET basic of 2 years, extended to 10 years if the device is registered at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.

The IKA EUROSTAR 100 control overhead stirrer (MPN 0020105159) represents the modernised, highly advanced mechatronic generation of professional laboratory stirrers. With a footprint reduced by up to 23 per cent compared to its predecessors, this powerhouse boasts exceptional functional density within a minimal footprint. Designed for universal and highly demanding mixing tasks in B2B laboratory environments, the system effortlessly handles sample volumes of up to 100 litres (based on water) as well as highly viscous media. It represents the ideal process engineering solution for complex syntheses, viscous mixtures and fully documented processes in chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological research. High-precision torque monitoring and real-time viscosity display An outstanding metrological feature of the control series is the integrated high-end torque sensor. With an absolute accuracy of ±1 Ncm, it enables continuous, transient torque monitoring throughout the entire mixing process. Based on this data, the internal microprocessor control calculates the exact viscosity of the medium in mPas and displays it in real time on the large TFT graphic display. Thanks to a sophisticated electronic speed control system operating in the range of 30 to 2000 revolutions per minute, the brushless DC motor dynamically adapts to changes in load. The stirring speed therefore remains absolutely constant even during transient viscosity fluctuations, guaranteeing maximum reproducibility. Extended functionality and uncompromising process reliability From a process engineering perspective, the EUROSTAR 100 control offers capabilities that go far beyond conventional stirring. The system features an integrated temperature measurement function (via a PT1000 interface), a direction of rotation that can be reversed at the touch of a button (anti-clockwise/clockwise) for the targeted disruption of flow patterns, and a programmable interval mode. An integrated vibration sensor continuously monitors the test setup for imbalances or critical vibrations and initiates an automatic safety shutdown in the event of danger. Mechanical jams or thermal overloads are prevented by self-contained safety circuits. An integrated lock button also protects against unintentional parameter changes during operation. Industry 4.0 connectivity and robust housing design The system’s infrastructure architecture is consistently tailored to the requirements of digitised laboratory environments. With standard USB-C, RS232, Ethernet, wireless and Wi-Fi interfaces, the overhead stirrer can be seamlessly integrated into automated networks and fully controlled and validated via the labworldsoft ® laboratory software. The housing, made from coated die-cast aluminium and robust thermoplastic, meets the demanding IP 54 protection rating.

High-precision real-time viscosity measurement via a torque sensor An outstanding metrological feature of the control series is the integrated torque sensor. With exceptional accuracy of +/- 1 Ncm, it enables continuous, transient torque monitoring throughout the entire mixing process. From these values, the internal microprocessor control calculates the exact viscosity of the medium and displays it in mPas directly on the large TFT graphic display. Coupled with a microprocessor-controlled, automatic speed regulation system operating in the range of 30 to 2000 revolutions per minute, the brushless DC motor dynamically adapts to changes in load. The stirring speed therefore remains completely constant even during abrupt load changes or transient viscosity fluctuations, guaranteeing maximum reproducibility. Advanced process functions and multi-level safety architecture From a process engineering perspective, the EUROSTAR 60 control offers tools that go far beyond conventional stirring. The system features an integrated temperature measurement function (via a PT1000 interface), a rotation direction that can be reversed at the touch of a button (counter-clockwise/clockwise rotation) for the targeted disruption of flow profiles, and a programmable interval mode. An integrated vibration sensor continuously monitors the test setup for imbalances or critical vibrations and initiates an automatic safety shutdown in the event of danger. Mechanical blockages or thermal overloads are countered by self-contained safety circuits, whilst an integrated lock button reliably protects the control panel against unintentional parameter changes. Industry 4.0 readiness and robust housing design The system’s infrastructure architecture enables seamless integration into digitised laboratory workstations. Equipped as standard with USB-C, RS232, Ethernet, wireless (WPAN) and Wi-Fi interfaces, the overhead stirrer can be seamlessly connected to a PC and fully controlled and comprehensively documented via the labworldsoft laboratory software ®. The mechanically robust housing consists of a combination of coated die-cast aluminium and sturdy thermoplastic, which meets the demanding IP 54 protection rating (splash- and steam-proof). The brushless DC motor operates virtually wear-free, whisper-quiet (52 dBA without tools) and absolutely clean, meaning the system is fully qualified for a 100% duty cycle in continuous operation.

The IKA RET basic HUB Solution Complete Package (MPN 0010016572) represents a highly advanced, mechanically unrivalled in terms of robustness and thermodynamically precise system solution for the simultaneous stirring, intensive mixing and precise temperature control of liquid media. This bespoke complete set is based on the tried-and-tested RET basic safety heating magnetic stirrer, combined with optimised stand and mounting accessories (“HUB”). In modern laboratories specialising in chemical synthesis, pharmaceuticals and industrial process engineering, the absolutely reliable handling of viscous or high-density batches is the decisive factor in ensuring reproducible reaction conditions with process reliability. Excellent thermal conductivity thanks to a pure stainless steel base A material-specific highlight of the RET basic is its high-performance heating surface, with a diameter of 135 mm, which is made from a specialised, high-purity stainless steel alloy. Compared to conventionally coated surfaces, the pure stainless steel plate offers exceptionally high thermal conductivity, resulting in extremely short heating cycles and highly efficient heat transfer to the sample. The surface is also characterised by outstanding mechanical impact resistance, scratch resistance and excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive solvents. The circular geometry is perfectly suited to standardised laboratory vessels, can be cleaned without leaving any residue and ensures gentle, continuous use over many years. Flawless media thermoregulation and HUB system architecture The process engineering basis for precise temperature control is direct measurement within the sample medium. The system features an integrated microprocessor control unit with sophisticated PID control characteristics, which operates in conjunction with the supplied Pt1000 temperature sensor. The distinctive feature of the “HUB Solution” lies in the perfect mechanical integration of the mounting components: The stable stand system guarantees absolutely vibration-free, vertically precise guidance and locking of the sensor within the vessel. Transient contact between the sensor and the vessel base or the rotating stirrer is reliably prevented, thereby avoiding measurement errors and reliably protecting sensitive sample components from local overheating. Hermetic housing seal and comprehensive laboratory safety The RET basic’s long-term durability is underpinned by its sealed housing design, which meets IP 42 protection standards. The robust die-cast aluminium housing effectively protects the internal electronic control circuits and the high-torque drive from spilled media, aggressive vapours or dust. Safety is the top priority with this device: A safety circuit, which can be adjusted independently of the main processor, monitors the maximum hotplate temperature and immediately shuts down the system in the event of unexpected temperature spikes. In addition, a highly visible ‘Hot Top Indicator’ warns laboratory staff of the risk of burns after operation until the hotplate surface has cooled down to a safe temperature.

A glass flask is not very forgiving if, during reflux distillation, a sensor cable rubs against the clamp or if an oil bath spills onto the hotplate should the flask break. The IKA RCT basic Synthesis Solution 250 (ID No. 0010016490) addresses both issues: a wireless temperature sensor measures directly within the reaction medium, a second, wired sensor simultaneously monitors the synthesis block, and the flask is housed in an aluminium block rather than in an open oil bath. IKA supplies the complete set for round-bottom flasks up to 250 millilitres: the RCT basic magnetic stirrer with heating, flask holder, PT wireless and PT1000 sensors, USB dongle, as well as a stand and clamps for securing the flask. Wireless temperature and pH measurement in the reaction medium The centrepiece of the set is the PT wireless sensor, which transmits measurement values wirelessly to the RCT basic. A pH electrode can also be connected via the PT wireless’s BNC socket; the RCT basic’s display then shows the pH value directly, without the need for a separate measuring device. As there is no longer a sensor cable leading to the flask, the setup on the stand remains more flexible, and there is no risk of cables being damaged or scorched by contact with the heating plate. The supplied USB WD dongle also connects the RCT basic wirelessly to the IKA Lab Assistant app for visualising the measurement data. Dual temperature monitoring for greater safety In addition to the PT wireless, the set includes the wired PT 1000.60 sensor. Both sensors measure simultaneously, but at different locations: the PT 1000.60 monitors and limits the temperature at the synthesis block or heat transfer medium, whilst the PT wireless measures the temperature directly within the reaction medium. The RCT basic displays both values side by side on the screen. This separate measurement is particularly important in the event of glass breakage, as a sudden discrepancy between the block temperature and the medium temperature becomes immediately apparent and does not have to be detected via a single measurement point. Synthesis block instead of an oil bath The flask holder supplied (IKA designation H 135.25, for 250 ml round-bottom flasks, without handle) is a synthesis block made of solid anodised aluminium and is temperature-resistant up to 300 degrees Celsius. Compared to an oil or sand bath, this significantly reduces the potential for hazards and simplifies handling and cleaning, as there is no risk of an oil bath leaking or sand becoming stuck. A universal clamp (R 350) additionally secures the flask to the stand. The RCT basic has a second stand mount, which can be used to attach an additional stand rod for a reflux condenser if required. RCT basic as a basic unit: stirring and heating with 800 watts The basic unit covers a speed range of 50 to 1,500 revolutions per minute, adjusted via a rotary-push control with an accuracy of 10 revolutions per minute. Stirring rods with lengths of 20 to 80 millimetres can be used; according to the data sheet, the stirring capacity is up to 20 litres of water, and the maximum load is 25 kilograms. The heater has an output of 800 watts and reaches temperatures ranging from room temperature to 310 degrees Celsius; one litre of water heats up by 9 Kelvin per minute in heating stage H1500. The safety limit can be set independently of the setpoint between 50 and 360 degrees Celsius – a control logic that IKA has been using for decades in heated equipment. The die-cast aluminium housing is rated to IP 54, which protects against splashing water and corrosive laboratory air. Safety concept for unattended operation Beneath the heating plate are two further, separate temperature sensors: one controls the setpoint temperature, whilst the second monitors an independently adjustable safety limit in accordance with EN IEC 61010-2-010; this setting is adjusted mechanically directly on the unit and is independent of the process setpoint. If the medium temperature drops suddenly – for example, due to glass breakage or the medium evaporating – the RCT basic detects this and can switch off the heating. If the temperature fails to rise despite the power supply – for example, because a sensor is not immersed in the medium – the device also deactivates the heating automatically. A visual warning is also displayed as soon as the mounting surface exceeds 50 degrees Celsius, even if the unit is already switched off. Differences compared to the larger sets in the series The Synthesis Solution 250 shares the base unit with the 500 and 1,000 millilitre sets; the flask holder in all three sets is tailored to the respective flask volume. If you mainly carry out small experiments up to 250 millilitres, this set will suffice. If your experiments regularly reach 500 or 1,000 millilitres, the corresponding larger sets are the more obvious choice. It has not been verified at this stage whether the 500 and 1000 millilitre sets include the same range of wireless sensors as the 250-ml set; the shop descriptions for these sets to date only mention the wired PT1000 probe. Typical applications As a synthesis kit with wireless sensor technology, the RCT basic Synthesis Solution 250 is suitable for, amongst other things: Organic syntheses on a 250-ml scale with simultaneous monitoring of block and medium temperatures Refluxing, where an additional stand rod is required for the condenser pH monitoring directly in the reaction mixture, without a separate pH meter at the workstation Laboratory workstations that wish to avoid open oil baths for safety or cleaning reasons Technical details Number of stirring points1 Max. stirring volume (H₂O)20 l Maximum load25 kg Motor power output9 W, brushless DC motor Speed range50 to 1500 rpm Speed adjustment accuracy10 rpm Stirrer rod length20 to 80 mm Heating power800 W Heating temperature rangeRoom temperature to 310 °C Heating rate (1 l H₂O, heating setting H1500)9 K/min Adjustable safety circuit50 to 360 °C Control accuracy with PT1000 (500 ml H₂O, 40 mm rod, 600 rpm, 50 °C)±0.5 K Base plate materialAluminium alloy, Ø 135 mm Protection class according to DIN EN 60529IP 54 InterfacesRS232, USB-C, USB WD dongle (wireless) Dimensions of base unit (W x H x D)160 x 100 x 200 mm Net weight of base unit2.3 kg Power supply220 to 230 V, 50/60 Hz Power consumption820 W Piston carrier volume250 ml, without handle Flask holder materialAnodised aluminium, temperature-resistant up to 300 °C Wired temperature probePT 1000.60, stainless steel Wireless temperature probePT wireless, with BNC connector for optional pH electrode Contents 1 x IKA RCT basic magnetic stirrer with heating 1 x PT wireless, wireless temperature probe 1 x H 16 V support rod 1 x support rod H 38 2 x H 44 cross-sleeve 1 x H 80 bracket for the temperature probe 1 x R 350 universal clamp 1 x PT 1000.60 temperature probe, stainless steel 1 x USB WD, USB dongle for the RCT basic 1 x flask holder H 135.25 for 250 ml round-bottom flasks, without handle 5 x IKAFLON 25 ellipse, magnetic stirring bars 1 x IKAFLON 30 magnetic stir bar 1 x IKAFLON 40 magnetic stirring bar 1 x screwdriver for assembly Customised requirements & procurement service Those who regularly carry out larger batches will find the IKA RCT basic Synthesis Solution 500 (MPN 0010016483) or the Synthesis Solution 1000 (MPN 0010016478) to be the ideal set for 500 or 1000 millilitres respectively.

Form-fitting temperature control without hazardous oil baths The process engineering foundation of this system is the aluminium synthesis block for 1000-ml round-bottom flasks included in the set, which is positioned directly on the 135 mm Kera-Disk mounting surface. The precise geometric adaptation to the shape of the flask ensures perfect, form-fitting heat transfer. This principle completely replaces traditional, fire-hazardous and high-maintenance silicone oil baths in the laboratory. The heating plate’s substrate, made from a highly conductive aluminium alloy, guarantees minimal heating times, whilst the non-porous, scratch-resistant ceramic coating (Kera-Disk) reliably protects the work surface from mechanical damage and highly aggressive chemical synthesis reagents. Direct temperature control within the medium and mechanical stability From a process engineering perspective, the Synthesis Solution 1000 package ensures uncompromisingly precise temperature control directly within the liquid reaction mixture. The supplied PT1000 stainless steel temperature probe measures the transient actual values at the centre of the flask and transmits these to the highly efficient PID microprocessor of the RCT basic. This effectively prevents the temperature from overshooting the target value. The robust stand system, consisting of a support rod and a cross-sleeve, ensures vibration-free and vertically precise positioning of the sensor, which reliably prevents measurement errors caused by unintentional contact with the walls or base of the round-bottom flask. Hermetic housing seal and enhanced safety concept The long-term durability of the agitator drive is ensured by a sealed die-cast aluminium housing with IP 42 protection, which reliably protects the internal electronic components from spilled media. A multi-stage safety concept ensures safe unattended operation: an independently adjustable safety circuit immediately switches off the 600-watt heater in the event of an unexpected over-temperature.
