Powerful and Precise Laboratory HeatingThis magnetic stirrer excels in maintaining accurate temperatures up to 350C, ideal for sensitive experiments in research and industrial labs. The combination of a stainless steel, anti-corrosive hot plate, and analog display ensures reliable, user-friendly operation for a variety of laboratory applications including chemistry and biology.
Flexible Mixing Capacity for Versatile ApplicationsWith a stirring speed adjustable between 100 and 1400 RPM and compatible with stir bars up to 50 mm, this instrument efficiently homogenizes solutions of up to 2 liters. Suitable for containers as large as 2000 ml, it addresses the needs of laboratories handling diverse sample volumes, ensuring optimal mixing performance every time.
FAQ's of MAGNETIC STIRRER WITH HOT PLATE:
Q: How does the magnetic stirrer with hot plate function during laboratory experiments?
A: The device uses a magnetic field to rotate a stir bar placed in your flask, creating a vortex that continuously mixes your solution while heating it. Its analog controls and variable speed adjustment (100-1400 RPM) allow you to precisely manage mixing and temperature during experiments.
Q: What types of laboratory applications is this equipment suitable for?
A: This magnetic stirrer with hot plate is designed for chemistry, biology, and research laboratory applications, such as solute dissolution, reagent mixing, buffer preparation, titration, and microbial culture heating, where simultaneous stirring and heating are required.
Q: When should I use the hot plate feature as compared to only stirring?
A: Activate the hot plate when your experiment requires simultaneous heating along with mixing, such as dissolving solids faster in solvents or conducting reactions at elevated temperatures up to 350C. For ambient temperature mixing, use only the stirring function.
Q: Where should the magnetic stirrer with hot plate be installed for optimal performance?
A: Install the magnetic stirrer on a stable, flat surface within the laboratory, away from flammable materials and direct water exposure. Ensure the ambient temperature stays between 5C and 40C for optimal operational safety and efficiency.
Q: What is the process of operating and adjusting the speed and temperature?
A: Plug in the device using the standard 3-pin plug, place your flask with a stir bar on the plate, and turn on the equipment. Adjust the stirring speed and temperature using separate analog controls to match your experimental requirements.
Q: What are the benefits of using a stainless steel, anti-corrosive hot plate?
A: A stainless steel, anti-corrosive hot plate ensures long-term durability and resistance to chemical spills, making cleaning easier and providing sustained, reliable heating for various laboratory procedures.
