Cole-Parmer SHP-400-BS-120 Premium Digital Stirring Hot Plate, 6" x 6", Aluminum, Blue; 120 VAC

Description

The SHP-400-BS-120 is a premium digital hot plate that provides both heating and magnetic stirring capabilities. It requires a 120 VAC power source. Its work surface is a 6 by 6 inch aluminum plate with a blue coating or anodized finish, which can offer additional protection against wear and chemical exposure. Aluminum provides efficient thermal transfer for consistent heating across the plate. The premium series suggests enhancements in performance, which may relate to control precision, interface clarity, or operational longevity. Users can independently set the desired temperature and stirring speed via the digital control panel. The magnetic stirrer function rotates a stir bar within a container placed on the plate, enabling the mixing of liquids without direct mechanical contact. This model is applicable for general laboratory work where reliable, combined heating and stirring is needed, such as in sample preparation, titrations, or educational demonstrations.
