This magnetic stirrer hot plate is a bench unit for mixing and heating liquids, with a 150 x 150mm working plate, a brushless DC motor, speeds up to 1600rpm, a 5L maximum stirring volume and heating from room temperature to 300°C on the heated models. It comes in four versions: MSB-S (stirrer only), MSB-H (heating), MSB-D (stirrer with LCD display and timer) and MSB-HD (heating, LCD display, timer and temperature sensor).
Features and benefits:
- Four models in one range - pick stirring only, heating only, stirring with display, or the full heating and display version
- Brushless DC motor with speed up to 1600rpm - quiet, steady mixing of up to 5L
- Heated models reach 300°C from room temperature on a cast aluminium plate with ceramic spray coating, with a memory function
- LCD display and timing from 1 to 99h59min on the D and HD models, with a programme function
- The HD model includes a PT1000 temperature sensor: plate control within ±3 and liquid within ±0.5
- Reversing stir direction (positive and inversion) and separate knobs for temperature or time and for speed, with Start/Stop and programme buttons
- Stainless pole, bakelite cross clamp and temperature support supplied with the heated models, plus shock-absorbing feet
Applications:
- Mixing and heating solutions in laboratory and school science work
- Dissolving powders and keeping a liquid at temperature in workshop and food or cosmetics preparation
- Home brewing and general bench mixing
- Teaching demonstrations of stirring, heating and timed mixing

A: A magnet spins under the working plate and turns the stir bar sitting in your vessel, which mixes the liquid without a shaft or paddle. On this unit the brushless motor drives the magnet at up to 1600rpm.. Q: How do you use a magnetic stirrer hot plate? A: Drop the stir bar into the vessel, stand it in the middle of the plate, then set the speed with the Speed knob. On heated models set the temperature or time with the other knob and press Start.. Q: What is the difference between the MSB-S, H, D and HD models? A: S is stirring only with no display. H adds heating to 300°C, D adds an LCD display, timer and programme function without heating, and HD has heating, LCD display and a PT1000 sensor.. Q: How hot does the MSB hot plate get? A: The heated H and HD models run from room temperature up to 300°C on a cast aluminium plate with ceramic spray coating. The S and D models do not heat.. Q: How much liquid can it stir? A: The maximum stirring volume is 5L on all four models..
