SCILOGEX SCI-5ST Digital Magnetic Stirrer with Ceramic Plate and Timer, 5-inch, 110V

The SCILOGEX SCI-5ST is a precision digital magnetic stirrer featuring a 5-inch (Ø135mm) corrosion-resistant aluminium plate coated with ceramic, ideal for handling strong acids, alkalis, and high-temperature protocols commonly required in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. Powered by a maintenance-free brushless DC motor delivering 10W output, it supports stirring volumes up to 10 liters of aqueous solutions and accommodates stir bars up to 80mm in length.

Key technical features include:

• Ceramic-glass stirring plate ensuring chemical resistance critical for bioprocessing and synthetic biology workflows.
• LCD interface displaying real-time and set stirring speeds ranging from 50 to 1500 rpm with 1 rpm increments, supporting precise shear conditions needed in live-cell imaging and sample homogenization.
• Integrated timer function with 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes range, including an audio alarm, essential for kinetic assays and time-sensitive gene editing protocols.
• RS232 communication port enabling remote PC control and data logging, facilitating integration into automated laboratory setups and biomanufacturing pipelines.
• Waterproof edge design and IP42 protection ensure durability and contamination control during clinical diagnostics and biopharmaceutical production.
• Safety locks prevent accidental changes in operation, guaranteeing reproducibility in sensitive laboratory experiments.

Operating reliably at 100-240V and 50/60Hz with minimal power consumption (30W), the SCI-5ST’s compact dimensions (270 x 175 x 108 mm) and 1.8 kg weight make it suitable for benchtop use in diverse research environments focused on molecular biology, gene editing, and synthetic biology. This magnetic stirrer is widely adopted in laboratories requiring robust, programmable stirring with enhanced chemical resistance and remote operation capabilities.
