Hotplates and Stirrers

Hotplates and stirrers are essential benchtop tools used to heat, mix, or simultaneously heat and stir liquid solutions in laboratory settings. These instruments support a wide range of lab applications, including chemical analysis, microbiology, and general research procedures.

What Are Hotplates and Stirrers?

  • Hotplates provide a flat, heated surface ideal for warming liquids or maintaining consistent temperatures during experiments.

  • Magnetic stirrers use a magnetic field to spin a stir bar within a container, creating a vortex that mixes the solution thoroughly.

  • Hotplate stirrers combine both functions, allowing you to heat and stir at the same time, improving workflow efficiency and consistency.

These tools are commonly used in:

  • Chemistry labs for heating and mixing chemical solutions

  • Microbiology labs for stirring cultures and reagents

  • Research and academic labs that require precision heating and agitation

Types of Hotplates and Stirrers Available

Hotplates and stirrers come in a wide variety of sizes and configurations to meet your specific laboratory needs, including:

  • Digital hotplates with programmable settings and temperature displays

  • Analog models with basic, manual controls

  • Multi-position stirrers for high-throughput environments

  • Compact units designed for space-saving workstations

Compatible accessories like clamps, support rings, thermometers, and external temperature probes can also be used to enhance performance and safety.
