Cole-Parmer SHP-400-BC-120 Premium Digital Stirring Hot Plate, 6" x 6", Ceramic, Blue; 120 VAC
Manufacturer: Cole-Parmer
Description
Part of a premium series, this digital stirring hot plate is designed for laboratories requiring enhanced chemical resistance and precise control. It operates on 120 VAC and features a 6-inch square (6" x 6") work surface made of blue ceramic. Ceramic is selected for its high degree of inertness and durability; it resists damage from acids, solvents, and scratches, and is generally easy to clean. The premium designation typically indicates refined performance characteristics, which may include more accurate temperature regulation or advanced safety features. The digital interface provides independent management of the heating and stirring functions. The integrated magnetic stirrer agitates samples using a rotating magnetic field to drive a stir bar within a vessel. This model is well-suited for applications where sample purity is critical or where aggressive chemicals are used, such as in analytical chemistry or pharmaceutical research.
