Description
RH basic 2 is a cost-effective magnetic stirrer with heating that combines reliable mixing performance with controlled sample warming on a stainless steel hotplate. It handles stirring volumes up to 10 l (H2O) across a speed range of 100–2,000 min⁻¹, while the 400 W heater supports temperatures from room temperature to 320 °C. A fixed safety circuit set at 400 °C and a soft-start stirring motor protect both operator and sample during start-up and continuous operation. The compact IKAMAG® unit from manufacturer IKA is well suited to routine heating and stirring work in research, quality-control and teaching laboratories. Its straightforward controls and robust plate design make it a practical choice for everyday media preparation, dissolution and temperature-controlled reactions. Supplied as a single complete instrument, the stirrer offers a balanced combination of capacity, thermal performance and laboratory durability without unnecessary complexity.

Questions about RH basic 2, Magnetic stirrer with heating
What is this article?
RH basic 2, Magnetic stirrer with heating is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Magnetic stirrers, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Lab instruments.
A magnetic stirrer is the motor and the plate under the flask. Many also heat. The stirring capacity is the litres of a water-like liquid it can turn, and a viscous liquid defeats a rating that was measured on water.
Stirring keeps a mixture uniform or helps a solid dissolve. A magnetic stirrer spins a bar inside a closed vessel. An overhead stirrer drives a shaft when the liquid is viscous or the volume is large. A vortex mixer agitates a tube. A shaker moves a whole rack or a plate. The shape of the impeller and the speed decide whether the liquid turns over or merely spins. The vessels being stirred are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
