Velp AREC 7 Advance Digital Magnetic Hot Plate Stirrer with Temperature and Viscosity Control

The Velp AREC 7 Advance is a high-precision digital magnetic hot plate stirrer designed for advanced chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology laboratory applications. Engineered to deliver accurate temperature control (±0.5°C with VTF probe) and reliable stirring of up to 20 L sample volumes, it is critical in bioprocessing, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology workflows requiring robust thermal and agitation control.

Key technical features include:

• Speed range: 30–1700 rpm with a brushless motor and strong magnetic coupling for maintenance-free operation.
• SpeedServo™ technology: maintains constant stirring speed despite viscosity changes, essential for reactions sensitive to shear stress and viscosity variations in cell imaging preparation or enzymatic assays.
• Programmable temperature and stirring ramps (up to 9 each) with customizable speed limits and multiple stirring modes including auto-reverse and intermittent agitation to enhance homogeneity in viscous biotechnology samples.
• Temperature probes Pt100 and VTF for fine (gradual) and fast heating modes ensuring minimal overshoot, vital for molecular cloning or biomanufacturing temperature-sensitive processes.
• Safety features such as safety lock, external probe alarms, over-temperature protection, and IP42 rated casing suitable for clinical diagnostics and synthetic biology labs.
• CerAlTop™ heating plate (ceramic-aluminum composite) delivers rapid, uniform heating with high chemical resistance, ideal for sample preparation in biomanufacturing pipelines.
• Advanced connectivity options including USB interface with ControllerSoft™ software and cloud-based remote monitoring/control via VELP Ermes platform, supporting reproducibility and data traceability pivotal in biotechnology R&D environments.

Accessories such as hemispherical bowls enhance heat transfer efficiency, reducing energy consumption and improving thermal stability, supporting sustainable practices in bioprocessing. Modules like MonoAluBlock™ and MultiAluBlock™ allow simultaneous processing of multiple samples or varying vial sizes, facilitating high-throughput workflows in molecular biology and synthetic biology research.

The Velp AREC 7 Advance is widely adopted in laboratories requiring precise and reproducible sample heating and stirring, contributing significantly to experimental accuracy in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, chemical synthesis, and enzymatic reactions.
