Hotplate stirrers are vital tools in laboratories and research facilities. A quality hotplate stirrer can stir and precisely change temperature in a range of scientific applications. In order to sustain optimal performance, regular maintenance along with cleaning is paramount. In this Blog post, we will direct you through the cleaning and maintenance process, along with troubleshooting tips fo...
2Mag have a wide range of magnetic stirrers, with some having an internal controller, and others requiring an external controller. The stirrers that require an external controller can be submersed in water baths, up to 95oC. These stirrers come with a single stirring point, or multiple stirring points.

Stuart by Cole Parmer have recently given their trusty Undergrad hotplate and stirrer range a modern new look! Replacing older models, the new and updated Undergrads feature robust tough outer casing to prevent damage caused by knocks. They come in a clean blue and white colour scheme.
The entire Undergrad range comprises of analogue magnetic stirrers, analogue hotplates and a choice of an...
Some hotplates and hotplate stirrers have the ability for you to be able to connect an external temperature probe. The function of the external temperature probe is so that you can monitor and control the temperature of your heated sample. This is in contrast to simply controlling the hotplate surface temperature.

Thanks for sharing such a great information.. It really helpful to me.. I always search to read the quality content and finally i found this in you post. keep it up!
I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be...
Purchasing items using donated funds without the burden of VAT will now save many Millions of pounds each year which can be put to better use in advancing scientific knowledge to provide new treatments and cures that will shape the medicines of the future.
Working with pressure/vacuum conditions in the lab is common but not all products are designed to withstand this. Products with appropriate geometry and wall thickness are suitable for working safely with pressure. For example, filtering flasks, desiccators, or flat flange vessels, as well as...
