Torrey Pines Scientific has announced its new line of multiposition analogue stirring hot plates and stirrers featuring 5 or 9 stirrers. The large 12” (30.48cm) square ceramic heater tops have a temperature range to 450°C. The 5-position stirring units can stir 5-800ml beakers, and the 9-position units can stir 9-500ml beakers of aqueous solutions with a stirring range from 100 to 1500rpm. The units can support more than 50 pounds (22.6kg) on the plate surface, and they are designed to keep spills out of the chassis. All controls are mounted well in front of the heater surface to protect against accidental burns. The units are available in 100VAC/50Hz, 115VAC/60Hz, 220VAC/60Hz and 230VAC/50Hz. They are fused for safety and are supplied with user’s manual and detachable line cord for the country of use. All units are UL, CSA and CE or equivalent rated.
