The IKA RET control-visc is a patented world first: a safety magnetic stirrer with heating, integrated balance, and volume selection up to 20 liters, multiple stirring channels, and precise control of stirring volume and speed.
The device offers a high degree of precision for volume settings and features an integrated temperature control system to manage medium temperature with accuracy. It supports multiple stirring channels and volume options for versatile laboratory applications.
General
The IKA RET control-visc white magnetic stirrer combines precise temperature control, integrated weighing, and advanced stirring functionality in one compact device. It is designed for heating and stirring a maximum quantity of 20 liters per stirring position and can handle a maximum load of 25 kg. With adjustable heating up to 340 °C, it suits laboratories requiring reliable chemical resistance and rapid heating. Its clear, multilingual TFT display offers easy parameter settings and control. Target industries include chemical, pharmaceutical, and research labs needing precise medium temperature and stirring volume management.
Features & Benefits
- Integrated weighing function: Allows you to measure weights from 10 to 5000 grams with an accuracy of ±(0.3%+2) grams, making measurements fast and convenient without separate equipment.
- Precise temperature control: Equipped with a PT 100 sensor and dual sensors, enabling accurate measurement and control of both the heat transfer fluid and the medium temperature.
- Advanced stirring capability: Supports stirring speeds from 50 to 1700 rpm with a stirring bar length from 20 to 80 mm, ensuring effective mixing for various sample volumes and types.
- User-friendly TFT display: Shows both set-values and actual-values for speed and temperature, helping you monitor the process clearly and make quick adjustments.
- Safety features: Includes a lock function to prevent accidental changes, automatic heating switch-off if the temperature sensor is not immersed, and a protective cover for safe operation.
The IKA RET control-visc enables rapid heating with excellent chemical resistance thanks to its stainless steel composite hot plate with white ceramic coating.
