Cole-Parmer MSHM-200-500-115 Stirring/Heating Mantle, 500 mL; 115 VAC

Manufacturer: Cole-Parmer

Description

Configured for 115 VAC operation, this Cole-Parmer instrument combines a heating mantle and magnetic stirrer for use with 500 mL round-bottom flasks. It consolidates two common laboratory tasks—heating and mixing—into one device, potentially reducing bench clutter. The heating mantle applies thermal energy to the flask, while the integrated stir plate drives a magnetic stir bar to agitate the contents. This is advantageous for applications requiring consistent temperature and homogeneity, such as solvent reflux, liquid-liquid mixing, or synthesis. User controls typically include separate knobs or interfaces for regulating the heating level and stirring rate. The 500 mL capacity represents a versatile intermediate size, accommodating a broad range of routine laboratory procedures without excessive space or power consumption. The 115 VAC design is suitable for laboratories in areas like North America.
