The Cole-Parmer SHP-400-BC Premium Digital Stirring Hot Plate, Ceramic, Blue, 230 VAC (04806-81) combines controlled heating and magnetic stirring for routine laboratory workflows. Its 15 x 15 cm glass ceramic surface reaches up to 450°C, while the stirrer operates from 50 to 2000 rpm with a maximum stirring volume of 15 L.
Key Features
- High-temperature glass ceramic surface, reaching a maximum plate temperature of 450°C while providing excellent chemical resistance and easy cleaning
- 15 x 15 cm square top plate, providing a compact working surface for routine laboratory vessels
- Wide 50 to 2000 rpm stirring range, supporting both gentle mixing and faster magnetic stirring applications
- Mixes volumes up to 15 L, providing useful capacity for reagent, media and general laboratory preparation
- Full-colour 4" TFT display, showing target and actual temperature and stirring speed simultaneously
- Pt100 temperature probe included, providing direct sample temperature control to within ±1°C
- Advanced heating control algorithm, automatically assessing the rate of temperature rise to optimise heating and minimise overshoot
- Programmable experimental profiles, allowing single-stage and multi-stage time, temperature and speed procedures to be created and saved
- Independent hot-surface warning, flashing whenever the plate remains above 50°C even when the unit is switched off or unplugged
- 500 W heating power, providing controlled heating through the ceramic plate configuration
- BioCote antimicrobial protection, incorporated into the instrument surfaces as part of the product design
- Built-in connectivity, allowing firmware to be updated in the field when new versions are available
Note: BioCote technology is not a substitute for normal laboratory hygiene and cleaning practices.
Benefits
- Combines heating and stirring in one compact instrument for routine reagent preparation, warming, boiling, extraction and synthesis workflows.
- Improves temperature control by measuring the sample directly with the supplied Pt100 probe rather than relying only on plate temperature.
- Reduces operator attention during repeat procedures by storing programmable temperature, speed and time profiles.
- Helps protect users around a recently heated plate through the mains-independent warning indicator above 50°C.
- Makes colour changes easier to observe against the light ceramic working surface while providing strong resistance to laboratory chemicals.
- Includes two 25 mm PTFE-coated stir bars, a PTFE-coated temperature probe and a power cord with plug for initial setup.
