Cole-Parmer SHM-200-250 Stirring/Heating Mantle, 250 mL Capacity; 230 VAC

Description

This laboratory apparatus from Cole-Parmer integrates a heating mantle with a magnetic stirrer, designed for procedures requiring concurrent thermal input and agitation. It is configured for round-bottom flasks with a nominal 250 mL capacity. The unit operates on 230 VAC, a common mains voltage in many international regions. The heating element is housed within a protective mantle that surrounds the flask, promoting efficient and contained heat transfer to the vessel. Simultaneously, the built-in magnetic stirrer plate rotates a stir bar inside the flask to mix the contents. This dual functionality supports uniform temperature distribution and prevents settling or hot spots during chemical synthesis, reflux, or distillation processes. The design is intended for applications in chemistry and research labs where controlled reaction conditions are necessary. Proper use requires ensuring the glassware size is compatible with the mantle's specified capacity for safe and effective operation.
