Infrared Hotplate Stirrer

Introduction

An infrared hotplate stirrer uses infrared heating combined with stirring for efficient sample processing. It is widely used in laboratories requiring fast and uniform heating. It solves slow heating limitations and improves energy efficiency and temperature uniformity.

Standards

IEC 61010-2-051:2018-Particular requirements for laboratory equipment for mixing and stirring

Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.

Features

1. Infrared hotplate stirrer combining infrared heating with magnetic stirring.

2. Infrared heating technology provides rapid, efficient heat transfer to the vessel.

3. Variable speed magnetic stirring for effective mixing of solutions.

4. Digital temperature and speed control for reproducible operation.

5. Suitable for heating and stirring applications across laboratory disciplines.

FAQ

Q1: What is the infrared hotplate stirrer mainly used for?

A: It is used in chemistry and material laboratories to heat and stir solutions, particularly where rapid heating is beneficial, such as dissolving solids, preparing media, evaporation and sample digestion. Infrared heating delivers heat directly to the vessel for efficient temperature control.

Q2: What standards does the hotplate stirrer comply with?

A: The unit is designed with reference to IEC 61010 electrical safety requirements and relevant GB/T standards for laboratory heating and stirring equipment. Application procedures should follow the applicable standard methods. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.

Q3: What is the warranty period for the hotplate stirrer and key components?

A: The complete unit carries a 12-month warranty covering the heating system, motor and controller. Stirring bars and accessories are excluded. Damage from improper use or unauthorised repair is not covered.

Q4: Is the hotplate stirrer difficult to operate?

A: Operation is simple: set the temperature and stirring speed, then place the vessel on the plate. No special training is required. The manual explains temperature setting, stirring control and safety, and remote guidance is available.

Q5: What is the typical lead time for order delivery?

A: Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.

Q6: Does the hotplate stirrer require calibration or verification?

A: Plate temperature should be verified periodically against a calibrated reference thermometer, typically every 6 to 12 months. The unit is factory tested before delivery. Optional calibration service can be arranged.

Q7: Are consumables or spare parts universal?

A: Stirring bars and standard spare parts are available through our channel. No proprietary consumables are required. Provide the model and serial number when ordering.

Q8: Can the hotplate stirrer be customised?

A: Yes, options include different plate sizes, temperature ranges, 220V or 110V supply and external temperature probes. We confirm each option before order confirmation.

Q9: Is installation or setup required?

A: No installation is required; the unit is ready to use after power connection. Remote guidance is available if needed.

Q10: What materials should not be heated on this hotplate?

A: Flammable solvents above their flash point and materials that react dangerously at high temperature should not be heated without appropriate precautions. Use heat-resistant vessels and follow laboratory safety regulations.
