• Ceramic work surface, 7.1 x 7.1 In.
• Stir speed from 60 to 1500 rpm
• Temperature control up to 380 °C
• Three models: heat-stir, heat-only or stir only

PR1MA™ hotplates, stirrers, and hotplate-stirrers feature an exceptionally durable, chemical-resistant white ceramic work surface. Their space-efficient design (8 x 9 in. footprint), makes them ideal for use on crowded benchtops and inside of bio-hoods.

Advanced microprocessor controls with convenient turn knobs allow quick, precise adjustment and maintenance of speed and temperature. Safety indicator LED’s on the front panel indicate when the heating and/or stirring functions have been activated. With a square 7.1 In. work surface, all three models are compatible with a wide variety of popular sizes of borosilicate glass beakers, flasks, bottles, and other vessels. The hotplate/magnetic stirrer model (MS-1500) comes complete with a support rod for mounting thermometers and temperature probes.

Benchmark Scientific Hotplates and Stirrers provide reliable performance and safe operation for everyday laboratory use.  With two sizes (7 inch or 10 inch) to choose from, each model features a durable, chemical resistant, white ceramic top plate and advanced microprocessor controls.  The constant monitoring system provides precise control of temperature (heating models only) with rapid heating and faster boiling times.  In addition, the powerful motor drive system of the magnetic stirrer ensures efficient mixing in larger vessels and more viscous samples.
 
Temperature and/or mixing speed can be viewed at all times on the large digital display and safety LED illuminates when the top plate temperature exceeds 50°C.  An optional external temperature probe can be used for applications that require precise temperature control.  The probe provides direct feedback to the microprocessor with adjustments for maintaining the selected sample temperature within ±1°C.  An optional clamp assembly (H3770-CS) is available for mounting thermometers, temperature probes, etc.
