Cole-Parmer MSHM-200-500 Stirring/Heating Mantle, 500 mL; 230 VAC

Description

Engineered for 230 VAC power supplies, this Cole-Parmer stirring and heating mantle is designed for 500 mL round-bottom flasks. The unit features a heating mantle that conforms to the flask's shape for efficient heat transfer and an integrated magnetic stirrer to provide mixing action. This combination is effective for laboratory processes where maintaining a uniform temperature and thorough agitation is essential, such as in specific organic synthesis steps or sample preparation protocols. Operation involves adjusting two primary settings: one for controlling the mantle's heat output and another for setting the stirrer's rotational speed. The 230 VAC specification indicates it is built for geographic regions where this voltage is standard, including many parts of Europe and Asia. The 500 mL flask size offers a practical intermediate scale for many experiments, providing sufficient volume for typical reactions while keeping heating and stirring dynamics manageable.
