New product range from IKA®: immersion and circulating thermostats

Staufen, November 25, 2013 - IKA® expands its product portfolio to include immersion and circulating thermostats. The IC immersion circulator is a classic bridge thermostat. The HBC 5 and HBC 10 are heating bath circulators with a maximum capacity of five and ten liters, respectively. The detachable wireless controller (WiCo– an innovation never before seen in such temperature control systems – enables users to control all key parameters from a distance of up to 40 meters.

The IC and HBC models are both available in “basic” and “control” versions. The basic versions of these thermostats already offer more features than most circulating baths of this type. For example, the infinitely adjustable pressure and suction pump or the option to connect an external temperature sensor are features of these basic “basic” models that are not found in the marketplace. In addition to all the features supported by the basic versions, the control models also have space for ten programs, allowing individual procedures to be performed.

In addition, these units have increased temperature stability, more powerful pumps and a higher maximum temperature. Also, connection to a PC network is possible in these models, which enables control through a software package (IKA® labworldsoft) and the evaluation of all relevant data.

As accessories, IKA® supplies a wide range of high quality stainless steel and plastic bath vessels with capacities from 12 to 20 liters. The Staufen-based, family-run company offers a 3-year guarantee on all equipment following registration on the manufacturer''s website (www.ika.com).
