This magnetic stirrer hot plate heats and stirs in one unit, with a 2000ml working capacity, a stirring speed of 0 to 2600RPM and a heating range from room temperature to 280°C. It comes as model XLD-78-1 or XLD-78-1S, both with a 120 x 120mm aluminium work disc, separate speed and temperature controls and a metal-tipped temperature probe.
Features and benefits:
- 2000ml working capacity - enough for large beakers and conical flasks on a single hot plate
- 0 to 2600RPM speed range with a dedicated speed knob - turn it clockwise to raise the stirring speed
- Heating from room temperature to 280°C with 180W/250W thermal output - a wide span for warming and heating solutions
- Overheat protection at 300°C - a built-in limit above the working range
- 6061 aluminium work table with frosted oxidation finish - a flat 120 x 120mm surface for the vessel
- Separate POWER and TEMP switches - run stirring alone or switch the heater on when needed
- Rubber cushioned feet, labelled by the supplier as shock absorbing with high suction - help keep the unit steady on the bench
- Temperature probe included - a metal-tipped sensor on a cable
Applications:
- Mixing and warming solutions in laboratory and school science work
- Preparing samples and mixtures in food and cosmetics workshops
- Research and education benches that need heating and stirring together
- Petroleum analysis and general laboratory preparation tasks
In the box:
The unit and a temperature probe are included. No beaker, flask or stir bar is supplied, so bring your own vessel and magnetic stir bar.
Note: The work disc gets very hot, and the unit carries a high temperature warning label, so do not touch it. Place the beaker in the centre of the disc on a flat bench, use a mains socket that matches the voltage marked on the machine, and unplug it when idle. The plug is EU type, so use a UK adapter.

A: A motor spins a magnet under the work disc, and that magnet turns a stir bar inside your vessel to mix the liquid. The heating disc warms the vessel at the same time, so you can heat and stir together.. Q: How do you use this hot plate with magnetic stirrer? A: Stand the unit on a flat bench, plug it in and centre your beaker on the disc. Switch on POWER, turn the speed knob clockwise to start stirring, then switch on the TEMP switch if you want heat.. Q: What is the maximum temperature of this laboratory hot plate? A: The heating range runs from room temperature to 280°C. Overheat protection is set at 300°C.. Q: How much liquid can it stir? A: The working capacity is 2000ml, which suits larger beakers and flasks on the 120 x 120mm disc.. Q: What is the difference between XLD-78-1 and XLD-78-1S? A: Both share the same speed range, power, capacity and size. The XLD-78-1S is listed with a carbon brush motor, while the XLD-78-1 is listed as brushless or carbon brush..
