IKA RCT basic anodised ETS-D5 Solution magnetic stirrer complete package, anodised aluminium base, 0010016503

The IKA RCT basic anodised ETS-D5 Solution Complete Package (MPN 0010016503) represents a technologically advanced, networked and process-reliable system solution for demanding B2B laboratory environments. This turnkey, all-in-one set combines the high-performance, latest-generation RCT basic anodised heating magnetic stirrer with the precise ETS-D5 electronic contact thermometer, as well as the appropriate mounting and protective accessories. The direct interaction between these two high-end components takes temperature control within the medium to a new level. As the contact thermometer interfaces directly with the stirrer’s software-independent safety circuit, the maximum permissible temperature in the medium can be limited entirely independently of the setpoint temperature. This pre-configured package offers maximum reliability for daily routine processes in chemical synthesis, in industrial testing laboratories or during quality control.

Maximum heating rates thanks to an energy-optimised anodised aluminium heating plate

The materials science foundation of the stirrer drive is a circular base with a diameter of 135 mm, made from a highly conductive aluminium alloy and sealed with an extremely durable anodised coating. This anodised protective layer reliably protects the system against mechanical scratches and a wide range of aggressive laboratory chemicals. Thanks to its energy-optimised insulation, the integrated heater delivers an outstanding output of 800 watts, resulting in extremely short heating cycles with peak rates of up to 9 K/min. The compact housing, sealed to protection class IP 54, reliably protects the sensitive control electronics from liquids and vapours, whilst at the same time saving valuable space in the fume cupboard or on laboratory lifting platforms.

Maximum validation reliability and intelligent protection functions

From a process engineering perspective, the ETS-D5 Solution ensures uncompromisingly precise temperature control directly within the liquid core of the sample. The contact thermometer utilises a sophisticated PID control system to ensure stable temperature consistency without thermal overshoot. Integrated safety features such as an adjustable sensor timeout, temperature drop detection and a predefined setpoint limit guarantee maximum safety even during unattended long-term experiments or in autonomous 24/7 operation. For seamless digital data acquisition, centralised process control and audit-compliant documentation, the main unit is equipped as standard with USB-C and RS232 interfaces for direct connection to higher-level laboratory management systems.
