Digital and Analog Magnetic Stirring Hot Plates for Laboratory Use
A **Hot Plate** is a versatile and fundamental piece of **Laboratory Heating Equipment** used to heat samples in beakers, flasks, and other flat-bottomed containers. PSAW specializes in **Magnetic Stirring Hot Plates**, which combine a powerful heating surface with a stirring mechanism. This dual functionality allows chemists and researchers to heat and mix solutions simultaneously, ensuring homogeneous distribution of temperature and reagents during synthesis, titration, or general sample preparation. We offer high-quality, durable hot plates for both **educational and industrial labs across India**.
Key Products: Hot Plate vs. Magnetic Stirring Hot Plate
Our catalogue addresses the two primary needs of modern laboratories:
Standard Lab Hot Plates
- **Function:** Provides a uniform, controlled heat source only.
- **Application:** Ideal for simple boiling, drying, or general heating of stable compounds.
- **Control:** Available in both cost-effective **Analog** and precise **Digital Hot Plates**.
Magnetic Stirring Hot Plates (Dual Function)
- **Function:** Combines heating with simultaneous **Magnetic Stirring** using a stir bar.
- **Application:** Essential for dissolution, chemical synthesis, and sample preparation requiring constant movement.
- **Efficiency:** Ensures the entire solution reaches the same temperature quickly and prevents sample degradation.

Hot Plate Selection and Usage FAQs
Q1. What is the main difference between an analog and a digital stirring hot plate?
An **Analog Hot Plate** uses simple knobs for power regulation, offering lower cost and simple function. A **Digital Hot Plate** uses microprocessors for precise temperature setting, stability, and control, which is essential for regulated or sensitive experiments.
Q2. Can I use a round-bottom flask on a hot plate?
It is generally discouraged to use a round-bottom flask directly on a flat hot plate, as it results in poor heat transfer and instability. A sand bath or a **Heating Mantle** is the preferred equipment for round-bottom flasks.
Q3. What stirring capacity should I look for?
Stirring capacity is usually rated in Liters (L). For general lab work, a 2L or 5L capacity is standard. Research involving large-scale synthesis may require up to 20L capacity **Magnetic Stirrers**.
