Infrared Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer for Precision Heating and Mixing
The Infrared Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer from Wiggens is a cutting-edge solution for labs in South Africa. It is designed for applications that demand rapid heating, precise control, and high chemical resistance. These units are built to perform under rigorous conditions. Therefore, they are a valuable addition to any laboratory setup from Apex Scientific.
Superior Heating Performance and Temperature Control
Each model in the WH280 series features a robust ceramic glass top plate. It offers excellent chemical resistance and can handle temperature shocks above 700 °C. Thanks to high infrared permeability, the stirrer delivers fast and uniform heating. This reduces energy loss and shortens experiment times.
An advanced PID system manages temperature control. When paired with a Pt-100 sensor, the stirrer maintains stability within ±1 °C. As a result, it is suitable for sensitive applications that require precise and repeatable results.
Smart Interface and User-Friendly Operation
All models include a high-resolution LCD or TFT color touchscreen. This allows real-time monitoring of temperature, stirring speed, and elapsed time. Furthermore, Intelligent Cascade Control (ICC) technology optimizes heating automatically. It helps deliver consistent and efficient performance.
A memory function stores the last used temperature and speed settings. This saves time during repeat experiments. Additionally, clockwise and counterclockwise stirring modes offer flexibility for a range of protocols.
Safety Features and Long-Term Durability
Lab safety is a top priority. Wiggens has integrated robust features that protect both users and equipment. These design elements also extend the device’s lifespan. Each unit includes:
- A liquid drainage design above the control board to protect sensitive electronics
- Automatic shut-off when temperatures exceed the safety range of 10–50 °C
- A sealed outer shell and isolated components to withstand harsh conditions
