Hotplate Stirrer
A hotplate stirrer is a versatile laboratory apparatus that combines the functions of heating and stirring. It consists of a flat, electrically powered heating surface, often made of metal or ceramic, equipped with a built-in magnetic stirrer. The heating element provides uniform and adjustable heating, allowing precise temperature control for various applications, such as sample preparation, chemical reactions, or solution evaporation. The integrated magnetic stirrer uses a magnetic bar placed within the liquid or solution to provide efficient and consistent mixing. Hotplate stirrers are widely used in chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical laboratories, offering a convenient and space-saving solution for simultaneous heating and agitation of samples. They enhance reaction kinetics, ensure temperature uniformity, and simplify experimental procedures, making them indispensable tools for researchers and scientists requiring controlled and efficient sample processing.
