VWR VMS-C7 Advanced Ceramic Glass Magnetic Hot Plate Stirrer, 2500mL Capacity, 500°C Max

The VWR VMS-C7 Advanced Hot Plate Stirrer is a precision benchtop laboratory device designed for chemical resistance and accurate temperature control critical to bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics. Featuring a 7x7 inch ceramic glass plate, it withstands harsh reagents while ensuring durability. The unit’s digital error code display and 'hot' surface indicator enhance safe operation during high-temperature experiments up to 500°C with a heat output of 1000W.

Equipped with dual microcontrollers and a digital potentiometer, the stirrer maintains a temperature accuracy of ±0.5°C when paired with a PT1000 temperature sensor (sold separately), supporting precise thermal management essential in synthetic biology and gene editing workflows. It delivers stirring speeds from 60 to 1600 RPM, handling volumes up to 2500mL for uniform mixing in biomanufacturing and cell imaging protocols.

Safety features include a fixed safety circuit with automatic heater cut-off at 550°C and three operating modes—standard, safe, and adjustment protection—making it reliable for biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics applications. The device operates on 120V, 50/60Hz power supplies and weighs approximately 5.44 kg (12 lbs), making it easily integrated into laboratory setups focused on fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging, and molecular cloning.

Key technical attributes:

Widely used in biotechnology research, this magnetic hot plate stirrer is essential for workflows requiring stringent control of heating and mixing parameters, such as nucleic acid extraction, protein assays, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
