Hotplate and Stirrers
Benchmark hotplates, stirrers and hotplate-stirrers feature an exceptionally durable, chemical resistant white ceramic work surface. Their space-efficient design (20 X 23 cm footprint), makes them ideal for use on crowded benchtops and inside of bio-hoods.
Advanced microprocessor controls with convenient turn knobs allow quick, precise adjustment and maintenance of speed and temperature. Safety indicator LED’s on the front panel indicate when the heating and/or stirring functions have been activated. With a square 18cm work surface, all three models are compatible with a wide variety of popular sizes of borosilicate glass beakers, flasks, bottles and other vessels. The hotplate/magnetic stirrer model (H4000-HS) comes complete with a support rod for mounting thermometers and temperature probes.

18 x 18 cm Digital Hotplate Stirrers
Benchmark Scientific Hotplates and Stirrers provide reliable performance and safe operation for everyday laboratory use. Our space efficient 7 x 7-inch hotplate/stirrer series features a durable, chemical resistant white ceramic top plate and advanced microprocessor controls. The constant monitoring system provides precise control of temperature with rapid heating and faster boiling times. In addition, the powerful motor drive system ensures efficient mixing in larger and more viscous samples.
Temperature and mixing speed can be viewed on the large digital display and a safety LED illuminates when the top plate temperature exceeds 50°C. An external temperature probe can also be used for applications that require precise control of sample temperature. The probe provides direct feedback to the microprocessor with constant monitoring and adjustments for maintaining the selected temperature in the sample within +/- 1°C. All models are compatible with borosilicate glass beakers and other vessels with up to 5 L maximum stirring volume. An optional clamp assembly (H3770-CS) is available for mounting thermometers, temperature probes, etc.
