Integrated Safety in the Lab The magnetic stirrer RCT basic safety control sets new standards

The add-on ‘safety control’ says it all: the magnetic stirrer RCT basic by IKA® offers an even higher level of safety for lab workers. The heating plate has two independent saftey control circuits to assist users with precise temperature control and automatic shut off. Users can also independently adjust the safety and medium temperature.

Depending on the application, the device can even be configured for various heating times while offering maximum security.

The safety-relevant parts are continuously checked throughout the operation. Self-monitoring of all safety relevant components guarantees safety in the event of a malfunction.

By setting the independent safety circuit we ensure that the flashpoint of the medium will not be overshot and that accidental changes of the safety temperature are prevented.

In addition, the already powerful magnetic stirrer now has an even stronger motor. This way, a larger speed range can be regulated. Another new feature is an additional temperature mode for quicker heating of media. The set temperature is reached quickly and held stable.

The temperature set/actual as well as speed set/actual are easily read due to the large digital display. The RCT basic safety control with its chemically resistant and fully enclosed housing in compliance with IP 42 has been checked according to international lab equipment standards DIN EN IEC 61010-1, DIN EN IEC 61010-2-010, DIN EN IEC 61010-2-051 - tested and certified by cULus International - as well as DIN EN IEC 61326-1.

The IKA® RCT basic fulfills, in all areas, the required safety regulations for laboratory equipment. Of course all of our products conform to CE certification.

When it comes to IKA®’s magnetic stirrer, safety is ensured through continuous innovation and design. IKA® continues to develop and release products that are designed to work perfectly and designed to work safety.
