Torrey Pines Scientific corrosion-resistant analog hot plates and stirrers

Torrey Pines Scientific announces its line of corrosion-resistant, multiposition stirring analog hot plates and stirrers featuring five or nine stirring positions, making them suitable for acid digestions and working with most corrosive solutions.

The large 305 mm square ceramic heater tops have a temperature range to 450°C. A purge port on the rear on the units is provided for purging with a positive pressure of any inert gas. Most chassis openings have been closed. This keeps corrosive vapours from getting inside the units and protects the electronics and stirrer motors.

The five-position stirring units can stir 5–800 mL beakers, and the nine-position units can stir 9–500 mL beakers of corrosive aqueous solutions from 100 to 1500 rpm. Each stirring position is individually controlled.

Measuring 432 x 318 x 134 mm, the units can support more than 22.6 kg on the plate surface. All controls are mounted well away from the heater surface to protect against accidental burns, and the units are designed to keep spills out of the chassis.

The units are available in 115 VAC/60 Hz, 220 VAC/60 Hz and 230 VAC/50 Hz. They have a main AC on/off switch and are fused for safety. They are supplied with a user’s manual and detachable line cord for the country of use. All units are UL, CSA and CE or equivalent rated.
