VWR Advanced Hot Plate Stirrers

• Excellent Temperature Uniformity
• Microprocessor Controlled
• Cool Touch, Chemical-Resistant Housing
• LED Display For Temperature

Advanced hot plate stirrers are designed to deliver accurate and repeatable results in general-purpose laboratory applications. These microprocessor controlled units feature a front-facing control panel with an easy-to-read LED that displays set-point temperature. Enhanced electronics regulate the robust heater, which brings samples to the desired temperature quickly and efficiently. Speed is precisely controlled, and provides consistent stirring at all speeds. The low profile design utilizes minimal bench space and permits use within a fume hood. Unit housing is constructed of a heat- and chemical-resistant polymer that remains cool to the touch during operation. The spill-resistant design channels fluids away from internal components in the event of spills.

Hot plate stirrers are available with ceramic or aluminum top plate material. Reflective white ceramic tops are chemical-resistant and easy to clean. Durable aluminum tops will not crack or chip, and offer a more even heating surface. A ramping feature that gradually increases speed results in improved safety, enhanced coupling, and excellent low end speed control. A built-in memory recall provides users with the last set temperature, even after the unit has been turned off. For additional safety, a hot symbol warning light is illuminated when the hot plate is in use, and remains lit until the top plate is sufficiently cooled.

Ordering Information: Units are supplied with a 234cm (92″) three-wire cord and plug. A 3.8cm (1¹/₂“) PTFE coated stir bar is also included. Units also include a two-year limited warranty on parts and labor. The optional support rod and clamp kit includes a 45.7cm (18”) long stainless steel support rod, a thermometer/temperature probe extension clamp, a three-prong dual-adjust swivel clamp, and a hook connector. 230V, 50/60Hz models are also available; contact your VWR sales representative for more information.
