Cole-Parmer SHM-200-250-115 Stirring/Heating Mantle, 250 mL Capacity; 115 VAC
Manufacturer: Cole-Parmer
Description
This compact Cole-Parmer model, the SHM-200-250-115, combines a heating mantle and magnetic stirrer for use with 250 mL round-bottom flasks. It is powered by 115 VAC. The integrated design applies heat directly to the flask surface through the mantle while the built-in stirrer plate rotates a magnetic stir bar to mix the contents. The dual functionality in a single, space-efficient footprint is advantageous for small-scale laboratory work, including research experiments and educational demonstrations. Applications can involve small-volume reflux, distillation, or chemical reactions requiring both thermal input and agitation. The 115-volt specification matches standard electrical outlets in North America. The equipment's design emphasizes effective thermal contact and operational safety for handling smaller quantities of materials in a controlled manner.
