IKA RCT basic anodised ready-to-go Solution complete magnetic stirrer package, anodised aluminium base, 0010016471

The IKA RCT basic anodised ready-to-go Solution complete package (MPN 0010016471) is a ready-to-use, perfectly mechatronically coordinated system solution for the simultaneous stirring, mixing and high-precision temperature control of liquid media. This turnkey all-in-one package combines the high-performance RCT basic anodised heating magnetic stirrer with the essential measurement and stand accessories for immediate temperature control within the sample. For daily routine tasks in chemical synthesis, sample preparation in academic institutions or routine testing in industrial quality control, this pre-configured set offers the ideal starting point for reliable and highly efficient work without the need for additional configuration.

Maximum thermal conductivity thanks to the anodised aluminium base

The materials science foundation of the stirring drive is a circular base with a diameter of 135 mm, made from high-quality anodised aluminium. Unlike traditional ceramic coatings, the anodised metal surface offers unrivalled, direct thermal conductivity. This drastically reduces transient heating times in everyday laboratory work, as the energy is transferred to the vessel without any loss. The precision-applied anodised layer effectively protects the underlying aluminium from mechanical abrasion, deep scratches and a wide range of solvents, ensuring exceptional durability and consistent performance in daily routine operation.

Direct temperature control and uncompromising safety

From a process engineering perspective, this system solution is characterised by the direct integration of the supplied PT1000 temperature sensor made of stainless steel. The sensor is positioned vibration-free within the liquid core of the sample using the sturdy stand components and regulates the heating power via a highly efficient PID microprocessor, which effectively prevents thermal overshoot of the target temperature. The sealed die-cast aluminium housing, rated to protection class IP 42, reliably protects the internal electronic control elements and the magnetic drive against the accidental ingress of media. An independently adjustable safety circuit immediately switches off the 600-watt heater in the event of an overtemperature, whilst a visual residual heat indicator reliably warns staff of the risk of burns after operation.
