Cole-Parmer MSHM-200-100-115 Stirring/Heating Mantle, 100 mL; 115 VAC

Description

Designed for 100 mL round-bottom flasks, the Cole-Parmer MSHM-200-100-115 is an integrated stirring and heating mantle. It operates on 115 VAC power, combining two essential laboratory functions into a single, compact device. The unit features a heating mantle that envelops the lower portion of the flask, providing focused and uniform thermal transfer to the vessel's contents. This design helps minimize temperature gradients and hot spots. An integrated magnetic stirrer, activated by a stir bar placed inside the flask, allows for concurrent agitation of the solution. This simultaneous heating and stirring is critical for applications like reflux, distillation, and small-scale synthesis, where maintaining homogeneous temperature and mixture is necessary. The unit typically offers separate controls for heating intensity and stirring speed. Its stable, low-profile base secures the flask during operation. This model is a practical tool for research, quality control, and educational laboratories working with small reaction volumes.
