BenchMate Magnetic Stirrer, Four Place

The Oxford BenchMate MS1 and MS4 Magnetic Stirrers redefine laboratory stirring, offering advanced, space-saving solutions for consistent, maintenance-free mixing in virtually any lab environment. Engineered for maximum efficiency and reliability, these units are indispensable tools for chemists, biologists, and researchers demanding precision and durability.

Unmatched Reliability and Space Efficiency: Boasting a remarkably slim, flat profile with no moving parts, the BenchMate stirrers utilize an innovative motorless design. This eliminates common wear-and-tear issues associated with traditional stirrers, ensuring exceptional reliability, extended lifespan, and whisper-quiet operation. This design not only minimizes maintenance but also maximizes valuable bench-top space – the MS4, for example, is less than 8 inches wide, making it perfect for crowded labs or fume hoods.

Versatile Stirring Options: Choose the MS1 for single-position stirring, ideal for individual vessels up to 800 mL, or opt for the MS4 with its four independent stirring positions, perfect for higher throughput applications where multiple samples require simultaneous mixing. Both models are equipped with a sophisticated microprocessor-controlled system that precisely maintains steady stirring speeds from 15 to an impressive 1500 rpm. This wide range and precise control guarantee uniform results across all load conditions, from gentle solutions to more viscous liquids. The recommended stir bar length is 25mm, accommodating a variety of vessel types.

Innovative Mixing Capabilities: A standout feature is the integrated Pulse Mode, which intelligently alternates stirring direction every 30 seconds. This creates a vigorous, thorough mixing action, preventing stratification and ensuring complete homogeneity, especially beneficial for dissolving solids or mixing suspensions.

Superior Durability and Easy Maintenance: The smooth, chemically resistant stainless-steel top surface is not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly easy to clean, making decontamination simple and efficient. The BenchMate stirrers are designed to withstand spills, with an IP 65 compliant design ensuring water splash resistance.

Intuitive Digital Control and Enhanced Safety: A bright, intuitive digital LED display provides clear, real-time readouts of speed, time, and temperature, allowing for precise control and easy documentation. Soft-touch controls make adjustments effortless. User safety is paramount: a dedicated “HOT” indicator light provides a clear warning if the plate surface exceeds a safe-touch temperature, preventing accidental burns. Furthermore, the waterproof heater includes a built-in automatic safety cutoff, offering additional peace of mind. The last run memory function stores previous settings, streamlining repetitive tasks.
