SCILOGEX SCI4-550H Ceramic-Glass Hotplate with Magnetic Stirring and Timer Control

The SCILOGEX SCI4-550H is a precisely controlled laboratory hotplate stirrer designed for reliable heating and stirring in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology workflows. It features a 4 x 4 inch (100x100 mm) corrosion-resistant ceramic-glass plate, capable of reaching temperatures up to 550°C with high control accuracy (±1°C below 100°C and ±1% above). This hotplate is well-suited for applications requiring uniform heat distribution and viscous liquid stirring, supported by a strong magnetic stirrer optimized for bioprocessing and cell culture preparation.

Key functional features include:

• Selectable heating modes: rapid, standard, and stable, ensuring tailored temperature profiles essential for sensitive experiments.
• Timer function: programmable for durations from 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes, with an audible alarm upon completion, critical for time-dependent biomanufacturing and molecular cloning steps.
• Safety mechanisms: overheating protection up to 580°C, residual heat warning above 50°C, and safety locks to avoid accidental setting changes.
• Temperature monitoring: LCD digital display presenting real-time and set temperatures with a precision of 0.1°C and an external PT1000 sensor (±0.2°C accuracy) for over-temperature cut-off.
• Durable design: corrosion-resistant all-metal housing with waterproof edges to prevent liquid ingress, suitable for harsh chemical environments typical in clinical diagnostic labs.
• RS232 interface: allows remote PC control and data acquisition through SCILOGEX free software, supporting integration into automated bioprocessing pipelines.

This hotplate stirrer's combination of robust construction, precise temperature control, and programmable functions makes it a vital instrument for biotechnology laboratories, synthetic biology research, and biomedical engineering applications requiring stable and safe sample heating with stir capability. Its wide voltage compatibility (100-120/200-240V, 50/60Hz) and compact footprint (270x175x108 mm) ensure versatility in diverse laboratory environments.
