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

Description

Intended for laboratories with 230 VAC power, this Cole-Parmer unit provides simultaneous stirring and heating for 500 mL round-bottom flasks. The device consists of a heating mantle that encloses the lower hemisphere of the flask, transferring heat directly to the glass, and a magnetic stirrer base that drives a stir bar for internal mixing. This dual capability is essential for maintaining homogeneity and controlled temperature in reaction mixtures, supporting applications in synthesis, distillation, and other chemical processes. The 500 mL capacity makes it suitable for medium-scale experimental work. The 230-volt specification is common in many countries outside North America. As with all heating mantle equipment, users should adhere to standard electrical safety practices, ensure the flask is securely seated, and confirm that the flask size is appropriate for the mantle to achieve efficient heat transfer and operational safety.
