Infrared Hotplate Stirrer High Temperature for Demanding Laboratory Applications
The Infrared Hotplate Stirrer High Temperature series from Wiggens is engineered to deliver precise, high-speed heating and stirring for advanced scientific workflows. Designed for laboratories in South Africa, these high-performance units—available through Apex Scientific—combine innovative temperature control, chemical resistance, and user-friendly features. As a result, they are an essential part of any modern laboratory equipment setup.
Precision Heating with PID and ICC Technology
Both models in the series offer exceptional thermal accuracy. The WH380 features three preset PID settings. This allows researchers to adapt to different heating applications with ease.
In contrast, the WH385 introduces Intelligent Cascade Control (ICC). This self-optimizing system automatically adjusts heating parameters for greater efficiency and stability.
Each model uses a PT100 temperature sensor. It achieves precision within ±1 ℃, making it ideal for chemical syntheses, biological assays, and thermal protocols that demand strict thermal control.
Fast Heating and Energy Efficiency
The Infrared Hotplate Stirrer High Temperature reaches up to 550 ℃. It can boil one litre of water in just 9 minutes under standard lab conditions.
Powered by a 1200W heating system, both the WH380 and WH385 deliver rapid heat-up times. Therefore, they help reduce downtime and boost productivity in the lab.
Chemically Resistant and Built to Last
A durable ceramic glass top plate resists corrosion from acids, alkalis, and solvents. This makes the stirrers suitable for demanding chemical environments.
Additionally, the material helps preserve sample integrity during high-temperature processes. The large 280 × 280 mm plate and Ø190 mm heating zone support a wide range of vessel sizes and applications.
Power Meets Precision: High-Temperature Infrared Hotplate Stirrers for Advanced Lab Applications
The Wiggens Infrared Hotplate Stirrer High Temperature series—offered by Apex Scientific—is built for fast, accurate heating and stirring in demanding lab environments. Ideal for research and industrial use, these units feature advanced PID and ICC (Intelligent Cascade Control) technology for excellent thermal precision. The WH380 offers preset PID modes, while the WH385 adapts automatically with ICC. Both use PT100 sensors to maintain temperature stability within ±1 °C. Watch the video to explore how these hotplate stirrers elevate performance and efficiency.
User-Friendly Control Interface
Designed with scientists in mind, the WH380 includes an intuitive LCD display. It shows real-time data on temperature, stirring speed, and safety status.
The WH385 enhances usability with a TFT touch controller for added visual clarity and ease of use. Furthermore, both models feature smart memory functions that retain the last used settings. This reduces manual input and simplifies repetitive workflows.
