Firstly, the Thermo Scientific RT Touch magnetic stirrer is a digital magnetic stirrer with LED display for routine laboratory applications where visible speed setting is required. Moreover, this model combines a round polypropylene surface with a gradual start-up function to prevent splashing. As a result, the unit guarantees consistent stirring from 30 rpm up to 2000 rpm. In addition, the RT Touch is available in two sizes with diameters of 170 mm and 220 mm for sample volumes up to respectively 4 and 5 liters.
Firstly, the digital LED display shows the exact set stirring speed for optimal reproducibility. Secondly, the gradual start-up function prevents splashing when starting slow reactions. In addition, the unit operates on a multi-voltage power supply from 100 to 240V, making it globally usable. Moreover, the countdown timer offers extra control over the duration of your experiment.
Firstly, the RT Touch offers a wide stirring range from just 30 rpm for extremely slow mixing. Secondly, the upper limit reaches 2000 rpm for powerful mixing. In addition, this wide range is ideal for temperature-sensitive reactions, cell culture or applications where visual assessment of the stirring behavior is important. Moreover, the strong magnetic coupling guarantees consistent stirring across the entire speed range.
Firstly, the 170 mm configuration offers space for medium-sized samples up to 4 liters with loads up to 20 kg. Secondly, the 220 mm configuration handles large samples up to 5 liters and supports vessels up to 25 kg. In addition, both sizes share the same digital display, the same gradual start-up function and the same support rod screw hole. Moreover, both sizes are suitable for multi-voltage operation from 100 to 240V.
The RT Touch magnetic stirrer is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and biotech, medical diagnostics, food industry and agriculture and horticulture. For advice on the right size, please contact Poly Temp Scientific.

Firstly, the Thermo Scientific RT Touch is a digital magnetic stirrer with LED display for routine laboratory applications, available in two sizes with diameters of 170 and 220 mm. In addition, this model offers a wide stirring range of 30 to 2000 rpm, a gradual start-up function to prevent splashing and a screw hole for support rod. Moreover, suitable for sample volumes up to 5 liters and vessels up to 25 kg.








The choice depends on your sample volume and vessel size. Firstly, the 170 mm configuration is suitable for medium-sized samples up to 4 liters with vessels up to 20 kg. Secondly, the 220 mm configuration offers space for large samples up to 5 liters and supports vessels up to 25 kg. In addition, both sizes share the same digital display, the same gradual start-up function and the same wide stirring range of 30 to 2000 rpm.
The RT Touch has a digital LED display for visible speed setting, whereas the RT Basic works with an analog dial. Secondly, the RT Touch offers a wider stirring range from 30 rpm versus 150 rpm for Basic. In addition, the RT Touch has a gradual start-up function to prevent splashing, a countdown timer and a screw hole for support rod. Moreover, the RT Basic is more affordable and ideal for simple plug-and-play applications without display.
Firstly, the unit gradually increases the stirring speed from zero to the set value. Secondly, this prevents the stir bar from immediately spinning, which would otherwise cause splashing or the stir bar to fly off. In addition, this is especially important for sensitive reactions, thin liquids or large volumes. Moreover, the function offers more control over starting slow mixing processes.
No, the RT Touch is exclusively a magnetic stirrer without heating. Secondly, this model is designed for applications where only mixing is required. In addition, the absence of heating saves energy and keeps the sample temperature stable at room temperature. Moreover, the Thermo Scientific RT2 Basic, RT2 Plus Advanced and Cimarec+ series are available when you do need heating.
With every RT Touch two non-slip silicone plate covers are supplied as standard: one black and one white. Secondly, you choose the color that offers the best contrast with your sample for optimal visibility. In addition, these covers are replaceable and available separately in the correct size (88880145 for 170 mm, 88880146 for 220 mm). Moreover, you can optionally mount a support rod via the screw hole for temperature probes or other equipment.
