The IKA RET basic anodised magnetic stirrer with heating (MPN 0020133787) combines a heating power of 800 watts with a compact housing measuring 160 x 200 x 100 millimetres and integrated Wi-Fi and LAN interfaces. This allows the unit to be used in a confined space within a fume cupboard or on a laboratory lift platform, whilst simultaneously integrating it into networked laboratory infrastructures. For B2B laboratory set-ups with high safety and documentation requirements, the RET basic anodised offers a combination of rapid heating, precise speed control and a comprehensive, standards-compliant safety concept for continuous daily use.
Compact design with high power density and anodised protection
The 135-millimetre base consists of a highly thermally conductive aluminium substrate and enables heating rates of up to 9 Kelvin per minute with uniform temperature distribution, adjustable across four heating speed settings. To protect against mechanical wear, scratches and aggressive chemical reagents, the surface is sealed with an anodised coating. Despite the high heating power of 800 watts, the housing remains ultra-compact at 160 x 200 x 100 millimetres. The stirrer therefore saves space in the fume cupboard, can be positioned on any standard laboratory lifting platform and is suitable for parallel experimental set-ups in confined spaces.
Networked laboratory processes via Wi-Fi and LAN
For integration into networked laboratory infrastructures and automated documentation processes, the RET basic anodised is equipped as standard with Wi-Fi and LAN interfaces, as well as the wired USB-C and RS232 interfaces. This connectivity allows the magnetic stirrer to be monitored centrally, controlled remotely or integrated into higher-level software solutions, including via the IKA app. The communication interface, which is based on ASCII-based Namur commands, also enables direct device-to-device communication. For example, the RET basic anodised can be linked to an IKA overhead stirrer: if the stirring speed of the viscous medium falls below a critical threshold, the RET basic anodised automatically deactivates the heating. This is an important prerequisite for reliable, unattended continuous operation.
Comprehensive safety concept in accordance with EN IEC 61010-2-010
With a total of 18 integrated safety features, the RET basic anodised complies with the laboratory equipment standard EN IEC 61010-2-010 for heated laboratory equipment. System safety is further confirmed by a certificate from TÜV Süd in accordance with the NRTL standard (comparable to UL and CSA). In addition to a mechanically adjustable safety limit (50 to 360 degrees Celsius) via two separate plate sensors, the unit features Delta-T medium monitoring, sensor breakage and misalignment detection, as well as automatic heating shutdown in the event of a sudden drop in temperature, such as that caused by glass breakage. In the event of a safety shutdown, the ‘Always-Stir’ function takes effect: heating is stopped whilst stirring remains active to prevent delayed boiling or hotspots in the medium. An optical residual heat warning also protects against burns on surfaces exceeding 50 degrees Celsius.
Typical applications
The combination of network connectivity, compact design and comprehensive safety features makes the RET basic anodised a versatile instrument for digitised laboratory environments:
- Networked laboratory processes requiring documentation, thanks to integrated Wi-Fi and LAN interfaces
- Unattended continuous operation through coupling with an IKA overhead stirrer via Namur commands
- Demanding syntheses with high safety requirements thanks to 18 safety features in accordance with EN IEC 61010-2-010
- Mobile process monitoring via the IKA app
- Suitable for use in fume cupboards and on laboratory lifting platforms thanks to its compact housing dimensions of 160 x 200 x 100 millimetres
