Description

The Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer YG1035 is a high-performance, 6-position laboratory workhorse designed for large-scale mixing and heating applications. Featuring a digital PID control system, this unit delivers precise temperature regulation (RT-380°C ±1°C) and adjustable stirring speeds (100-1800 RPM ±1 RPM) across all six positions. The 180×180mm white ceramic-coated aluminum plates ensure excellent heat distribution and corrosion resistance, while the spill-proof housing safeguards internal electronics from liquid damage. With a 5000mL capacity per position and continuous operation capability, this heavy-duty stirrer is perfect for pharmaceutical, chemical, and industrial labs requiring high-throughput processing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How does the 6-position design improve lab efficiency? The YG1035 allows simultaneous processing of six samples, dramatically reducing experiment time compared to single-position stirrers—ideal for parallel synthesis, QC testing, and large-batch preparations.
• Can this stirrer handle organic solvents and corrosive chemicals? Yes! The ceramic-coated plates and corrosion-resistant housing withstand most lab chemicals, though prolonged exposure to strong acids/bases should be minimized.
• Is voltage adjustment required for international use? No—the dual voltage support (110-120V/160-240V) makes it globally compatible without external transformers.

Advantages & Disadvantages

Key Advantages:

• Unmatched Capacity – Six 5000mL positions handle industrial-scale workloads effortlessly
• Lab-Grade Precision – Digital PID control maintains ±1°C/±1 RPM accuracy for reproducible results
• Built to Last – Reinforced metal housing and ceramic plates resist wear from daily lab use

Considerations:

• Large Footprint – Requires significant bench space (each plate: 180×180mm)
• Higher Power Draw – 550W total consumption increases operational costs
• Not for Ultra-High Viscosity – Extremely thick samples may require specialized stir bars

Real-World Applications

This industrial-grade stirrer excels in:

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – Parallel dissolution testing & drug formulation

• Chemical Plants – Bulk mixing of reagents and catalyst preparations

• Food Science Labs – Emulsion development and quality control

• Research Institutions – High-throughput material science experiments

The sealed design permits use in inert atmospheres, while the rapid heating accelerates processes like polymerization, crystallization, and cell culture media preparation.

Expert Recommendations

• For viscous samples: Use octagonal stir bars to prevent vortex collapse

• Maintenance: Perform monthly calibration checks on temperature sensors

• Safety: Always use heat-resistant gloves when handling >300°C plates
