Labor Magnetic Stirrer-hot Plate

An item which is capable of variable speed stirring and controlled heating simultaneously, or of doing either operation individually. It is used for such applications as digestions, synthesis, vacuum distillation and the like. It consists of a motor driven magnet which rotates under a hot plate mounted over a housing which contains the drive mechanism and controls. The motor driven magnet exerts a torque on a magnetic stirring capsule placed in the liquid to be stirred.
