IKA launched the next generation of its magnetic stirrer line, introducing the RCT basic and RET basic models built around the company's new ‘Integrated Safety’ concept and 100% tested via its automated RoboMAG production line. The new stirrers set a global standard for lab protection by combining safety features such as an adjustable independent safety circuit, hot plate warnings, self-monitoring, and continuous stirring during error conditions with advanced digital connectivity including USB-C, RS232, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and cloud integration via the IKA Lab Assistant App. With 800W of heating power, stirring speeds up to 1,700 rpm, and the smallest footprint on the market, the new generation is designed to improve safety, efficiency and ergonomics across modern lab workflows.
