IKA C-MAG HS 10 Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer with Ceramic Heating Plate

The IKA C-MAG HS 10 is a precision hotplate magnetic stirrer designed for laboratory applications requiring simultaneous and controlled heating and stirring of liquids up to 15 L per position. Specifically suited for biotechnology workflows, molecular diagnostics, and chemical research, it provides consistent temperature control and stirring performance essential for bioprocessing and synthetic biology experiments.

Key features include:

• Heating element: 1500 W ceramic plate (260 × 260 mm) with excellent chemical resistance, supporting temperature ranges from approximately 50°C to 500°C.
• Stirring capability: Adjustable speed from 100 to 1500 rpm with a motor power around 1.5 W, supporting stir bar lengths up to roughly 80 mm.
• Temperature control: Rotary knob paired with a digital display (LED/LCD depending on model), enabling precise setpoint adjustments critical for biomanufacturing temperature-sensitive reactions.
• Safety measures: Fixed safety shut-off at about 550°C prevents overheating. The ‘Hot Top’ indicator clearly signals when the surface is too hot to touch, enhancing user safety in clinical diagnostics or research lab environments.
• External temperature sensor compatibility: DIN 12878 socket supports ETS-D5 or PT 1000 sensors for accurate medium temperature monitoring, vital in live-cell imaging or biomedical engineering research.
• Design and durability: Raised control panel protects electronics against accidental spills. The unit weighs approximately 6 kg with IP 21 protection, ensuring safe operation under standard lab ambient conditions (5–40°C, ≤80% humidity).
• Power compatibility: Operates on 100 V, 120 V, or 230 V at 50/60 Hz, making it adaptable for global laboratory settings.

Optimized for research fields such as cell imaging, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics, the IKA C-MAG HS 10 hotplate magnetic stirrer is widely adopted in synthetic biology research workflows that demand reproducible stirring and precise thermal management. It is an essential tool for molecular cloning, biopharmaceutical production pipelines, and diverse experimental protocols requiring robust, chemically resistant stirring and heating solutions.
