Infrared Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer for Precision Heating and Mixing
The Infrared Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer from Wiggens is a cutting-edge solution engineered for laboratories in South Africa that demand rapid heating, precise control, and high chemical resistance. Designed to perform under rigorous scientific conditions, these units are an essential addition to your laboratory equipment lineup at Apex Scientific.
Superior Heating Performance and Temperature Control
Each model in the WH260 series includes a robust ceramic glass top plate. It offers excellent chemical resistance and withstands temperature shocks above 700 °C. Thanks to its high infrared permeability, the unit ensures fast, uniform heating. This significantly reduces energy loss and shortens experiment turnaround times. Temperature control is managed by an advanced PID system. When combined with a PT-100 sensor, the stirrer maintains temperature stability within ±1 °C. Therefore, it’s suitable for sensitive experiments that require reproducibility.
Smart Interface and User-Friendly Operation
All models are equipped with a high-resolution LCD or TFT color touchscreen. These displays provide real-time monitoring of key parameters like temperature, stirring speed, and time. Additionally, Intelligent Cascade Control (ICC) technology enhances heating performance and ensures consistent results. The built-in memory function saves the last-used settings, helping reduce setup time for repeat experiments. Furthermore, clockwise and counterclockwise stirring modes offer flexibility for different laboratory protocols.
Safety Features and Long-Term Durability
Safety is critical in any lab environment, and Wiggens addresses this with robust built-in features. These not only extend device lifespan but also protect users and samples. Each unit includes:
- A liquid drainage design above the control board to protect sensitive electronics
- Automatic shut-off when temperatures exceed the adjustable safety range of 10–50 °C
- A sealed outer shell and isolated components to ensure durability in harsh conditions
