RCT 5 Digital
The IKA RCT 5 Digital is a high-performance magnetic stirrer with heating, engineered for demanding laboratory applications. It features a powerful 850 W motor and heating system, a rectangular scratch-resistant white ceramic-coated plate, and an intuitive digital interface for precise control of stirring speeds up to 1500 rpm and temperatures up to 310 °C.
Description
Description
The IKA RCT 5 Digital is designed for large-volume and high-viscosity applications, making it ideal for research laboratories, pilot labs, and industrial R&D environments. Capable of handling up to 20 liters (H₂O), it delivers exceptional heating and stirring performance thanks to its uprated power output.
The unit features a robust housing with a chemical-resistant glass control panel and a multifunctional digital menu that allows users to program timers, stirring sequences, and rotation directions. Its white ceramic-coated surface not only offers superior chemical and scratch resistance but also provides excellent contrast for observing color changes during reactions.
Main Features
High Power Output
Delivers 850 W of heating and stirring power, ensuring fast heat-up times and reliable mixing for large volumes up to 20 L (H₂O).
Advanced Multifunctional Menu
Enables individual programming of stirring parameters, including timers, sequences, and rotation direction, for reproducible experimental workflows.
Comprehensive Safety System
Hot Surface Warning: Visual indicator alerts users when the plate temperature is high.
Adjustable Safety Circuit: User-defined maximum temperature limit up to 370 °C.
Sensor in Medium Detection: Automatically switches off heating if the connected temperature probe is not immersed.
Scratch-Resistant Ceramic Plate
Rectangular aluminum plate with a white ceramic coating that is harder, more durable, and more chemically resistant than standard surfaces.
Automatic Reverse Rotation
Programmable change of stirring direction at defined intervals for improved homogenization of viscous or difficult samples.
Digital Connectivity
Equipped with USB and RS 232 interfaces for PC control, data documentation, and firmware updates.
