Designed for Safety and DurabilitySafety is a priority with features like fused circuitry, overheat protection, and a non-slip base. The powder-coated body and stainless steel top ensure long-lasting use, even in demanding environments. Its compact size (200 x 150 x 120 mm) and manageable weight (approx. 3 kg) make it convenient for benchtop use while also being easy to relocate within the lab.
FAQ's of Magnetic Stirrer Hot Plate:
Q: How do I adjust the stirring speed and temperature on the magnetic stirrer hot plate?
A: The device uses rotary knobs, one for controlling stirring speed (200-2200 RPM) and the other for heating temperature (up to 350C). Simply turn the respective knob to your desired setting for precise control.
Q: What types of solutions can I safely mix with this hot plate?
A: This instrument is suitable for mixing and heating aqueous solutions up to 2 liters in volume. Its chemically resistant stainless steel top plate and PTFE-coated stir bar allow use with a wide range of chemical reagents.
Q: When should I use the fused circuitry and overheat protection features?
A: These features activate automatically to protect the equipment during any potential electrical fault or if the device overheats, contributing to safety during continuous and intensive lab operations.
Q: Where is the magnetic stirrer hot plate typically used?
A: It is ideal for research, educational, and industrial laboratory settings, providing reliable mixing and heating for experimental processes, sample preparation, and chemical reactions.
Q: What is the process for cleaning the top plate and stir bar?
A: After allowing the device to cool, wipe the stainless steel top plate with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Clean the PTFE-coated stir bar separately with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly before use.
Q: What are the benefits of the non-slip base and low noise operation?
A: The non-slip base keeps the unit stable during operation, reducing the risk of accidents, while the low noise design ensures a quieter working environment, enhancing overall lab comfort.
