The IKA LR 1000 laboratory reactor, featuring modular construction, is capable of optimising chemical reaction processes on a laboratory scale. The reactor is equipped with an one litre container and a stirrer. A heating unit is integrated under the reactor container, while a temperature sensor controls the temperature of the medium. Rotational speed and temperature are shown on a clearly arranged digital display. All processes can be monitored and documented from the PC via a USB port. The reactor is dishwasher safe and thus easy to clean.
