Cole-Parmer MSHM-200-5000-115 Stirring/Heating Mantle, 5000 mL; 115 VAC

Description

Designed for large-scale laboratory procedures, this Cole-Parmer apparatus integrates a heating mantle with a magnetic stirrer to accommodate 5000 mL round-bottom flasks. It functions on a 115 VAC power supply, making it suitable for standard North American electrical outlets. The heating element, insulated with glass wool, envelops the flask to promote uniform thermal transfer for processes like distillation or reflux. Simultaneously, an internal magnetic stir plate agitates a stir bar within the vessel to mix contents without invasive mechanical parts. This dual functionality allows for precise control over both temperature and mixing speed, typically managed via separate dials or a digital controller. Such equipment is fundamental in synthetic chemistry and pilot-scale preparations where consistent heating and agitation of substantial volumes are required.
