J.Bibby B212 Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer

• Laboratory mixing and heating of chemical solutions.
• Sample preparation in analytical chemistry.
• Dissolving solids into liquids for various scientific experiments.
• Titration processes requiring consistent stirring and temperature control.

Typical stirring capacity

Units of this class typically handle volumes up to 5-10 litres, depending on viscosity.

Power supply

Commonly operates on a standard UK single-phase 230V, 50Hz supply.

Temperature range

Hotplates of this type typically offer temperatures up to 300-350°C.

Plate material

Often features an aluminium alloy or ceramic coated hotplate for even heat distribution and chemical resistance.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a compact benchtop design is typical, often around 150-200mm square.

Stirring speed

Variable stirring speeds are common, typically ranging from 100 to 1500 rpm.

• What is the primary function of a hotplate magnetic stirrer?

  Its primary function is to simultaneously heat and stir liquid samples, ensuring uniform temperature and homogeneous mixing in laboratory settings.

• What type of vessels can be used with this equipment?

• Is a stir bar included with the unit?

• What maintenance is typically required for a hotplate magnetic stirrer?

• Can this unit be used for unattended operation?

Hotplates and heating stirrers remain industry workhorses for consistent temperature control in laboratory and biotech applications. Buyers typically prioritise robust build quality, accurate temperature regulation, and reliable stirring mechanisms when purchasing used units. Key considerations include element condition, calibration history, and compatibility with existing workflows. The equipment is valued for longevity and cost-effectiveness in secondary markets, though prospective buyers should verify heating performance and inspect stirring components for wear before committing to purchase.
