RCT basic is suitable for stirring tasks up to 20L (H2O) and reaches a hotplate temperature of up to 310°C. With the connection option for an external temperature sensor (PT 1000.60 included in delivery), the temperature can be measured and controlled directly in the reaction medium.

Thanks to perfect insulation of the aluminium heating plate, maintenance-free EC motor and electronic switching power supply, RCT basic features excellent energy efficiency as well as reduced self-heating of the heating plate during stirring operation, thus contributing to a more sustainable laboratory.

In the latest generation, RCT basic presents itself in proven quality and with numerous features:

• Tempered shatterproof glass surface for optimal chemical resistance and easy cleaning
• Largest display in its class with easy-to-read LED display
• Illuminated symbols for displaying important status information (set and actual temperature, heating status, temperature sensor)
• USB and RS232 interface for control or documentation of the test parameters via a PC
• Compatible with labworldsoft® laboratory software
• QR code for quick access to device information, accessories, downloads and extended warranty
• Easily accessible main switch on the front of the device
• Heating plate made of aluminium for optimal and homogeneous heat transfer
• Excellent magnetic coupling
• Soft start prevents magnetic stir bars from breaking off during the start phase
• Two optimised temperature control modes ensure fast heating or precise temperature control without overshooting
• Push and turn buttons for independent adjustment of the setpoints and starting / stopping of temperature and speed
• Supplied with IKAFLON® 30 Magnetic stirring bar, IKAFLON® 40 Magnetic stirring bar, screw driver and PT 1000.60 stainless steel temperature sensor

Also available packaged with accessories for added value and convenience:

• Ready-to-go Solution includes all components required for precise temperature control of your sample.
• Supplied in addition to standard components: support rod, holding rod, boss head clamp and multifunctional silicone beaker cap
• The ETS-D5 Solution consists of the RCT basic magnetic stirrer and the ETS-D5 electronic contact thermometer making experiments and reactions even safer.
• Supplied in addition to standard components: support rod, holding rod, boss head clamp and ETS-D5 thermometer
• The Synthesis Solutions are designed for safe synthesis in round-bottom flasks. The use of synthesis blocks significantly reduces the hazard potential compared to the use of oil baths and simplifies handling and cleaning.
• Supplied in addition to standard components: support rod, holding rod, universal clamp, 2x boss head clamps, elliptical magnetic stirring bars and flask carrier (choice of 250/500/1000mL)
