NEW - RET Basic

The new IKA RET Basic. The smallest magnetic stirrer with 800 W heating and a max temperature of 340°C

The New Benchmark for Digitization, Laboratory Safety, and Efficiency
The new IKA RET magnetic stirrer sets a new industry standard: As the smallest magnetic stirrer currently available with 800 W of heating power and a maximum temperature of 340°C, it combines uncompromising safety, exceptional durability, and maximum efficiency with intuitive and extremely simple operation. For seamless integration into networked laboratory infrastructures, the RET basic comes standard with Wi-Fi and LAN interfaces. This makes it ideal for digitization and documentation projects in which devices need to be centrally networked, monitored, controlled, or integrated into software solutions.

Solid and compact design
The high IP54 protection rating and the solid die-cast aluminum housing reliably protect the device from liquids, corrosive vapors, and mechanical stress—ensuring trouble-free continuous operation even under harsh laboratory conditions. The compact design (only 160 x 200 x 100 mm) saves valuable space in the fume hood, fits on almost any laboratory lift platform, and enables flexible, parallel experimental setups. As a result, users benefit from greater safety, greater efficiency, and more freedom in their daily laboratory work.

New heating plate, more functionality
The high-quality anodized aluminum surface offers reliable protection against scratches and a wide range of chemicals. The aluminum substrate ensures uniform temperature distribution and rapid energy transfer to the sample vessel. The RET basic comes an expanded range of features such as a timer function.

The customizable display gives users complete freedom. You decide for yourself which parameters are relevant for your application and can have them displayed continuously—whether it’s speed, temperature, pH, or a timer. When used with the PT.Wireless and ETS-D7 wireless sensors, the RCT/RET becomes a pH meter. This saves space and reduces investment costs.
