The unit supports digital control of temperature (up to 310°C) and stirring speeds (up to 1,500 RPM), enabling precise experimental conditions. With a built-in safety circuit, LED indicators, and compatibility with external temperature sensors (such as the IKA ETS-D5), the RCT Basic is suitable for a wide range of chemical, biological, and academic laboratory applications.
Economic Advantage:
The RCT Basic combines precise control, rugged construction, and reliable performance in an affordable benchtop device. Its long-lasting components and flexible control options minimize equipment downtime and calibration costs, making it a dependable workhorse for daily lab operations.
