Small Metal Hotplate/Stirrer

The new Stuart range of Premium hotplate stirrers have been designed to seamlessly blend scientific precision with contemporary styling and meet the day to day needs of today's scientific professionals and students. The Premium range is also available in an unrivalled eight colour options.

A simple clean body allows for any spillages to be easily deflected from the user. A spill-resistant front control module with chemically toughened glass, means you can clearly see what's going on without fear of cosmetic damage to the unit.

The mains independent "Hot" warning light will flash whenever the plate temperature is above 50°C even when the hotplate is turned off and unplugged from the mains.
Powerful magnets and motor give stirring speeds up to 1400 rpm and are capable of mixing large volumes (up to 15 litres *).

All models have an integral fixing point for a retort rod and are supplied with 2 x 25mm PTFE coated stir bars.

The Metal Hotplate/Stirrer premium unit has ceramic coated Aluminium surfaces that offer a robust top plate with excellent heat transmission. The top plate has a thin ceramic coating for added chemical resistance. A 700W element gives rapid heating and ensures even temperature distribution across the whole surface of the plate.

Premium units offer the highest level of sophistication in a hotplate stirrer with a full colour 4" TFT screen. Both set and actual temperature of the sample are displayed simultaneously.
As the hotplate heats the sample to the set temperature, the advanced control algorithm automatically measures the rate of temperature rise to judge the capacity and nature of samples (e.g. oil or aqueous). It then optimises the heating rate to minimize overshoot and time to set point.

Hotplate stirrers achieve the highest level of sample temperature uniformity, by combining the hotplate function with a stirring action, the sample mixing delivers enhanced temperature uniformity. Powerful magnets and motor give stirring speeds up to 1400 rpm and volumes up to 15 litres*. Set and actual stirring speed are displayed at all times, and thanks to the digital display of speed, experiment reproducibility is easy, as exactly the same speed can be programmed each time.

The Premium units bring the ability to create programs, controlling the temperature and stirring speed. Individual customer temperature and speed profiles can be created and saved to the unit, allowing for fast set up of complicated experimental procedures, without tying the user to the unit adjusting settings for a prolonged period of time.

All Premium units include a PTFE coated temperature probe, which when immersed within the sample, allows accurate sample temperature control to within ±1°C.

Premium units are available in eight colour choices, Blue, Black, White, Red, Pink, Ultraviolet, Avocado and Tangerine.

The Premium units are future proof; with the built-in connectivity the units can be updated in the field, as and when new firmware versions are available.
