ARES Scientific provides a comprehensive range of laboratory hotplates, magnetic stirrers, and combination hotplate stirrers designed for precise temperature control and consistent sample mixing. Our equipment serves research, quality control, pharmaceutical, and chemical laboratories requiring reliable heating and stirring capabilities for diverse applications including sample preparation, chemical synthesis, dissolution testing, and analytical procedures.
Laboratory hotplates deliver precise, uniform heating for applications ranging from sample drying to complex chemical reactions. Our digital hotplates feature large ceramic work surfaces measuring 7 x 7 inches, accommodating various vessel sizes from beakers to flasks. Integrated LED safety indicators clearly display when surfaces remain hot, protecting laboratory personnel from contact injuries. Advanced temperature control systems maintain setpoints within tight tolerances, ensuring reproducible experimental conditions.
The Benchmark Digital Hotplate offers straightforward operation with digital temperature display and programmable settings. Optional temperature probes enable direct monitoring of actual sample temperatures rather than surface temperatures, providing enhanced accuracy for temperature-sensitive applications. These probes prove invaluable for processes requiring strict temperature compliance, such as enzyme reactions, cell culture media preparation, and pharmaceutical compounding.
Magnetic stirrers provide contamination-free mixing through sealed vessels, eliminating direct contact between mixing elements and samples. Our digital magnetic stirrers support stirring volumes up to 5 liters with adjustable speed control for gentle to vigorous agitation. The ceramic work surface resists chemical attack and thermal shock while providing stable support for various vessel types.
Speed control ranges accommodate diverse viscosities and mixing requirements, from delicate biological samples to dense suspensions. Digital displays provide precise readouts of stirring speed, enabling reproducible protocols across multiple experiments. The compact footprint conserves valuable benchtop space while delivering professional-grade performance.
Hotplate stirrer combinations integrate heating and magnetic stirring functions in a single space-efficient unit. The Benchmark Digital Hotplate Stirrer exemplifies this versatility, offering independent control of temperature and stirring speed. This dual functionality proves essential for applications requiring simultaneous heating and agitation, such as dissolution studies, buffer preparation, chemical synthesis, and extract preparation.
Users benefit from synchronized heating and mixing without coordinating separate instruments or occupying additional bench space. Digital controls provide precise adjustments to both functions, while visual indicators confirm operational status at a glance. The large ceramic work surface accommodates substantial vessels, supporting stirring volumes up to 5 liters.
The OHAUS GUARDIAN 5000 hotplates and stirrers represent premium laboratory equipment with enhanced safety features and professional-grade performance. These units incorporate backlit LCD displays showing temperature and speed, prominent hot top indicator lights, and probe-in-use icons. Green indicator lights confirm heating and stirring operations, while single-point calibration capabilities ensure long-term accuracy.
GUARDIAN 5000 series equipment provides wide stirring speed ranges and precise temperature control, meeting demanding applications in pharmaceutical, chemical, and academic research laboratories. The intuitive interface simplifies operation while advanced features support complex protocols requiring temperature ramping, extended run times, and precise speed modulation.
Choosing between hotplates, magnetic stirrers, or combination units depends on your specific application requirements. Consider these factors when selecting equipment: required temperature range, stirring volume and viscosity, vessel types and sizes, available bench space, and whether simultaneous heating and mixing are necessary. Our technical team can help you identify the optimal configuration for your laboratory's needs.
Furthermore, consider whether your applications require external temperature probe monitoring. Direct sample temperature measurement proves critical for temperature-sensitive materials, biological applications, and processes requiring documentation for regulatory compliance.
