Designed for applications requiring exceptional accuracy, stability, and repeatability these magnetic hotplate stirrers are equipped with superior heating and mixing capabilities. With temperature ranges up to 500 °C and stirring speeds reaching 1600 rpm, the VWR® magnetic hotplate stirrers are equipped to handle any research, academic and industrial application. Available in two sizes.

• Excellent temperature uniformity and powerful stirring
• Easy to read, large LCD displays temperatures, speed and timer settings
• Cool touch, chemical-resistant housing
• Includes an RTD temperature probe which ensures precise temperature control of the sample
• 5 year warranty
• Industry leading safety features
• Available with a NIST Traceable, ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration Certificate from Troemner

The easy to use and easy to read front panel includes two intuitive dial knobs to navigate the settings and menu options. The LCD always displays temperature, speed, and timer information for convenient monitoring.

The low-profile design occupies minimal bench space, and fits into fume hoods. The rear housing of the hot plate features an off-centered, built-in support rod holder with locking knob and accepts a variety of accessories.

The magnetic hotplate stirrers are available with either ceramic or aluminum top plate material. White, reflective ceramic tops are chemical-resistant and easy to clean. Durable aluminum tops will not crack or chip, and offer a more even heating surface.

Hot plates are equipped with a variety of innovative safety features designed to facilitate efficient operation and workplace safety: Unit housing is constructed from a heat and chemical-resistant polymer that remains cool to the touch throughout use. The spill-resistant housing channels fluids away from internal components in the event of a spill. A maximum temperature limiting function ensures the plate temperature will not exceed preset limits, allowing for control of sensitive flash points. A large 13 mm, hot top warning light is illuminated when the heat is turned on, this remains lit until the top plate is below 40 °C. In timed mode, an alarm will sound when time reaches zero, or when the unit reaches set point temperature. In the event that the probe disengages from the sample, the heater will automatically shut off. Units are also equipped with redundant safety controls, which will turn off the unit in case of heater malfunction.

A timer displays elapsed time or a user-defined limit, and will shut off the unit when time reaches zero. The last used settings will be displayed, even after the power has been shut off. Enhanced electronics regulate the heating and will bring samples to the desired temperature quickly and efficiently.
