RT2 Basic Hotplate Stirrers
Manufacturer: Thermo Fisher
Description
The RT2 Basic stands out with an incredibly strong magnetic coupling field and a smooth-start acceleration mechanism that prevents stir-bar decoupling and fluid splashing. Equipped with a high-conductivity ceramic-coated aluminum alloy top plate, this hotplate stirrer provides fast thermal ramp-ups, uniform heat distribution, and excellent corrosion resistance. The crisp white ceramic finish also offers an optimal background for monitoring color transitions or precipitation changes during delicate titrations.
Features
- Microprocessor PID Temperature Control: Delivers stable, repeatable heating parameters up to 350°C (662°F) with minimal temperature overshoot.
- Intelligent Speed Feedback Loop: Maintains set stirring velocities up to 2,000 rpm by automatically adjusting motor output to compensate for fluid viscosity changes during chemical reactions or cool-downs.
- Advanced Safety Integration: Features a highly visible "Hot Top" warning indicator that stays illuminated after the device is turned off until the top plate cools down to room temperature. It also includes an automatic over-temperature safety shut-off mechanism.
- High Load Handling Capacity: The robust aluminum body architecture supports continuous container weights up to 25 kg (55.1 lbs) and can efficiently stir up to 20 L of water.
- Flexible Apparatus Mounting: Outfitted with two threaded rear holes to hold support rods, external temperature probes, or standard laboratory clamps directly onto the chassis.
