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

The new IKA ETS-D5 electronic contact thermometer (MPN 0025008371) completely redefines precision, safety and ease of use in laboratory thermal analysis. Developed as a high-performance mechatronic control unit for demanding laboratory processes, this instrument takes over active, direct temperature control of the medium once connected. It controls the heating power of a coupled magnetic stirrer by intelligently switching the heating plate on and off, whilst the stirrer itself acts as a redundant monitoring unit for the preset safety limits. The ETS-D5 thus transforms any compatible workstation into a future-proof, high-precision control centre for reproducible experimental series. Integrated safety architecture for risk-free processes From a process engineering perspective, the ETS-D5 offers a comprehensive range of sophisticated protective functions that contribute significantly to laboratory safety and risk minimisation. The system features an adjustable sensor timeout, which is triggered immediately if the probe is inadvertently outside the liquid medium. Precise temperature drop detection reacts dynamically to unexpected thermal gradients, whilst setpoint monitoring (Delta T) immediately stops temperature control if the target value is exceeded by a critical margin. To prevent operator errors in multi-user operation, the maximum settable temperature can be strictly limited via a setpoint limit. In the event of a transient fault, the heating circuit remains permanently switched off to protect personnel and the sample matrix. Optimised PID control and application-specific modes The instrument’s control technology ensures absolutely stable temperature control without thermal overshoot. Coupled with a high-precision, interchangeable PT1000 temperature sensor of tolerance class A, the system covers a wide operating range from –20 °C to +400 °C. Three application-specific temperature control modes ensure maximum flexibility in day-to-day laboratory work: ‘Fast’ for ultra-fast heating cycles, ‘Precise’ for working at the minimum tolerance limit, and a specialised synthesis block mode that is perfectly tailored to the thermodynamic requirements of chemical syntheses. For highly sensitive organic or biological sample structures, the heating rate can also be precisely reduced in percentage increments. Ergonomic touch-screen control concept and documentation The instrument’s exterior breaks away from complicated analogue designs and features a user-friendly, clear touchscreen display for intuitive parameter configuration during continuous operation. The almost completely enclosed system reliably protects the internal electronic components from aggressive vapours and liquids in the harsh everyday laboratory environment. A future-proof, integrated USB-C interface also enables the rapid, error-free export of all transient measurement data to a PC, thereby ensuring seamless documentation, validation and traceability of your processes in accordance with modern GLP standards.

The IKA ETS-D7 Wireless Sensor (MPN 0025008370) is a highly innovative, mechatronic, high-end wireless system solution for the simultaneous thermal and electrochemical analysis of samples in the modern laboratory. Far more than a conventional measuring transducer, this wireless instrument functions as an intelligent sensor and control centre. It transmits transient temperature data via digital radio transmission (WPAN) over a distance of up to 15 metres to compatible IKA drives, such as the magnetic stirrers of the RET basic and RCT basic series or the Eurostar control stirrers. This technological decoupling completely eliminates disruptive signal cables in the fume cupboard or glovebox and takes occupational safety and mechanical flexibility to a new level. All-in-one dual measurement technology with integrated BNC interface An outstanding technical feature of the ETS-D7 is its versatile configuration as a self-contained, stand-alone measuring device. The compact module features an integrated BNC socket, to which an analogue pH electrode can be connected directly. This transforms the temperature sensor into a fully-fledged, portable pH meter without the need for costly additional investment. The integrated, high-contrast TFT touchscreen displays both the temperature readings and the transient pH value with a fine metrological resolution of two decimal places (0.01). This guarantees absolutely error-free and precise readability of all process parameters directly at the physical measurement site. Smart sensor technology and highly efficient energy management The wireless sensor’s electronic system architecture stands out thanks to its forward-looking, software-controlled energy management. Using integrated infrared and ambient light sensors, the device automatically detects whether laboratory staff are in the immediate vicinity to read the measurements. The display only activates when actually needed (Auto-Wake) and automatically switches to a deep standby mode when idle, thereby achieving a remarkable battery life of up to 100 hours. For test series requiring continuous visual monitoring, continuous display operation can be flexibly enabled. Bidirectional connectivity for seamless Industry 4.0 validation Thanks to a sophisticated bidirectional communication matrix, the ETS-D7 enables full synchronisation of setpoint and actual values in a networked laboratory. Depending on the connected main unit, adjustments to temperature and stirring parameters can be made directly via the sensor’s touch interface. Furthermore, the sensor can be integrated as a second, redundant temperature sensor into critical safety control loops to reliably prevent exothermic incidents. Full compatibility with the labworldsoft (LWS) laboratory software ensures seamless digital recording, centralised control and audit-compliant documentation of all transient measurement curves in accordance with modern quality management standards.

The IKA Pt.Wireless wireless sensor (MPN 0025008369) represents a technologically pioneering, highly optimised mechatronic system solution for seamless digital temperature and electrochemical sample analysis in the laboratory. Designed as an intelligent, fully wireless sensor, this instrument eliminates the need for cumbersome cable routing in fume cupboards, gloveboxes or on crowded laboratory workstations. Via digital radio transmission (WPAN), the system transmits transient measurement data in real time over a range of up to 15 metres to compatible IKA system components – such as the latest generations of the RCT basic and RET basic magnetic stirrer series, Eurostar control stirrers, and directly to the labworldsoft (LWS) laboratory equipment software. Full app integration and display-free efficiency Unlike traditional measuring instruments, the Pt.Wireless does away with physically bulky display elements on the sensor itself and shifts all visual control to the innovative IKA app. Once paired – a straightforward process – the smartphone or tablet acts as a high-resolution dashboard for the real-time display of all parameters. Calibration of the precise temperature and pH calibration curves is also carried out error-free directly via the app’s user interface. For electrochemical analysis, the slim module features an integrated BNC interface to which an analogue pH electrode can be connected directly. This transforms the system into an ultra-compact all-in-one solution for monitoring complex reaction media. Intelligent LED status monitoring for weekend operation The Pt.Wireless’s key technical feature is its predictive, multi-stage energy management system, which enables a continuous operating time of up to 150 hours. To reliably prevent unforeseen system failures during critical long-term experiments, the sensor features a smart battery status warning via an integrated LED indicator. If the remaining runtime of the lithium battery falls below 70 hours, the LED signals at an early stage that safe, unattended operation over a full weekend can no longer be guaranteed. When the remaining runtime falls below a critical reserve of approximately 20 hours, the indicator changes to a slowly flashing yellow warning signal to alert laboratory staff that safe overnight operation is about to cease.
