PHOENIX Instrument 4-channel magnetic stirrer RSM-03-4KH with heating
The versatile 4-channel stirrer with integrated heating function impresses in demanding laboratory environments with its precise control and robust design. Thanks to its four independently controllable stirrers, this device is ideal for applications where parallel stirring and heating processes are required in separate vessels. Compared to conventional laboratory stirrers, this model offers a digital control function that enables constant temperature maintenance and an exact, reproducible speed. Comparisons such as the [PHOENIX Instrument RSM-02-4EK] show that a modular design with multiple stirring points leads to more effective workflows in many laboratories, especially when different chemical reactions need to run simultaneously.
Functions and special features
This multi-point magnetic stirrer is characterized by user-friendly operation and high power reserves. The integrated LCD display has been designed so that the speed, heating power and actual temperature can be easily read and set. An external PT-1000 probe ensures very precise temperature control and allows direct measurement of the liquid temperature. The system therefore offers a high level of process reliability when processing temperature-sensitive substances or carrying out intensive stirring processes up to boiling temperature.
- Four independent stirring points: Optimal for parallel processes so that different samples or media can be processed simultaneously.
- Powerful heating elements: Thanks to 4 x 500 W heating power, rapid heating up to 340 °C is possible. A safety stop takes effect as soon as 420 °C is exceeded.
- Weatherproof design: With an IP 21 protection class and a robust stainless steel plate with ceramic coating, a long service life is guaranteed even in challenging conditions.
- Brushless DC motor: Minimizes noise and vibrations at high speeds up to 1500 rpm and ensures reliable continuous operation.
- Individual control: Each mixing station has its own control function so that completely different temperature and speed parameters can be set.
- Large capacity: Up to 3 liters of water can be stirred per stirring station, providing a solid basis for various applications in chemical, biological or medical laboratories.
- User-friendly safety features: A visual indicator warns of hot surface temperature. In addition, the control accuracy can be further increased by directly connecting the PT-1000 probe.
Compared to other stirrers from the same manufacturer, the device scores points with an improved user interface and higher temperature resistance up to 340 °C. This means that even more demanding syntheses and titrations that require an exact temperature curve can be carried out.
Typical areas of application
With its flexible stirring and heating function, the device is particularly suitable for use in chemical, biological and pharmaceutical laboratories. Typical examples are:
- Heating and mixing liquids, for example during the synthesis of organic compounds or lengthy polymerization reactions.
- Simultaneous sample preparation in four separate vessels, for example when investigating the effects of pH on different substances.
- Homogenization of sensitive solutions in biochemistry, for example in the production of culture media, enzyme preparations or cell lysis suspensions.
- Even demanding fluids such as viscous resin systems can be processed gently without the motor running hot.
FAQs
How exactly can the temperature be set?
The temperature can be set in increments of 1 °C up to 340 °C via the LCD display. A control accuracy of ±1 °C is available using the external PT-1000 probe.
Can I select different speeds for each stirring point?
Yes, each of the four stirring points can be controlled independently so that individual speeds (200 to 1500 rpm) can be set for each point. This gives users the greatest possible flexibility for parallel experiments.
Which safety functions are integrated?
One of the most important safety features is the automatic switch-off if the safety temperature of 420 °C is exceeded. A hot surface indicator also provides a visual warning if the plate still has a high level of residual heat.
Is the appliance suitable for organic solvents?
Yes, the robust stainless steel plate with ceramic coating is resistant to many chemicals. Nevertheless, employees should always ensure that all relevant safety regulations for flammable or explosive substances are observed.
Conclusion
This multi-point magnetic stirring system is designed to precisely stir and heat multiple samples simultaneously. High power reserves, user-friendly individual control and a wide temperature range make it a versatile choice, especially when complex processes in research or routine analysis need to be carried out quickly and safely. With its extensive safety functions, easy-to-read LCD display and robust design, the device guarantees reliable performance in everyday laboratory work. Anyone looking for a high-quality, durable and flexible stirring tool will benefit from a professional, state-of-the-art solution.
