Product information "IKA RCT basic PT Wireless Solution magnetic stirrer complete package, Kera-Disk base, 0010016513"
The IKA RCT basic PT Wireless Solution Complete Package (MPN 0010016513) is a mechatronic system solution for the simultaneous stirring, mixing and wireless temperature control of liquid media. This turnkey complete set combines the RCT basic heating magnetic stirrer with wireless temperature measurement technology. Particularly in fume hoods, cleanbench workstations, gloveboxes or densely equipped laboratory workstations, conventional sensor cables often pose a mechanical hindrance or a safety risk. This wireless system solution avoids cables in the workspace and allows temperature control directly within the sample.
Excellent thermal conductivity thanks to the Kera-Disk base
The materials science basis of the magnetic stirrer is the innovative IKA Kera-Disk base with a diameter of 135 mm. The base plate is made of a highly conductive aluminium alloy, which ensures minimal heating times and homogeneous temperature distribution across the entire base surface. To ensure high chemical resistance to corrosive media, acids and alkalis, the metal surface is sealed with a non-porous, scratch-resistant ceramic coating. This robust hybrid construction facilitates residue-free cleaning and protects the mechanical integrity of the heating surface during heavy-duty continuous use.
Wireless media temperature control for greater workplace safety
The key process engineering feature of this complete package is the wireless transmission of laboratory data. The wireless temperature sensor included in the set is placed directly within the liquid core of the sample and transmits the actual values in real time via digital radio transmission to the stirrer’s microprocessor control unit. A highly efficient PID control loop continuously adjusts the heating power of the Kera-Disk, thereby reducing overshoot of the target temperature. This helps to protect sensitive organic syntheses, biological sample matrices or highly volatile solvents from thermal degradation and supports the reproducibility of your experimental series.
Housing and laboratory safety
The instrument has a die-cast aluminium housing. The housing complies with degree of protection IP 42 and protects the internal electronic control elements and the magnetic drive against solid foreign objects larger than 1 mm and obliquely falling drops of water. A comprehensive safety concept protects users and the laboratory infrastructure: an independently adjustable safety circuit immediately switches off the heating function in the event of an unexpected overheating, whilst a visual residual heat indicator (Hot Top Indicator) warns staff of the risk of burns even after the instrument has been switched off.

Individual requirements & accessories
To ensure you get the most out of the IKA RCT basic PT Wireless Solution complete package, we offer a comprehensive range of compatible system accessories. For safe, oil-free operation with round-bottom flasks, we recommend the heat-efficient IKA Dry attachments (DryZone) made from anodised aluminium, which can replace traditional oil baths. To protect the stirrer housing from stubborn contamination, we offer precisely fitting silicone protective covers (H 104). For complex mixing requirements, we also offer a wide range of PTFE-coated magnetic stir bars in various shapes (e.g. cylindrical, triangular or oval). For digital recording of stirring and temperature curves, the system can also be linked to the labworldsoft laboratory software via the integrated interface. Please make use of our technical procurement service to design your measuring station to suit your specific requirements. The IKA manufacturer’s warranty applies to the RCT basic in the complete package: 2 years, extended to 10 years upon registration at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.
