FAQs

What temperature range and stirring speeds are supported?

While the product description implies heating up to ~540 °C and stirring up to 1500 rpm, Thermo Fisher’s “Cimarec Basic / stirring hot plates” literature indicates that comparable 4×4 models support stirring in the range 100 to 1,200 rpm and reach full temperature in under eight minutes.

How quickly can it reach maximum temperature?

According to Thermo Scientific’s specification sheet, similar models of this hot plate can reach their maximum temperature in under eight minutes when unloaded. This rapid heating capability helps streamline laboratory workflows by reducing wait times for experiments.

What is the maximum load or vessel capacity for the 4×4 model?

For the 4×4 hot plates in the Cimarec Basic series, the recommended maximum load is 15 lb (approximately 6.8 kg), ensuring safe and stable heating. These units are designed to accommodate flasks up to 1 L, making them suitable for small-scale laboratory experiments and sample preparation.

Is the top plate chemically resistant or suitable for aggressive reagents?

Yes, the unit features a solid ceramic top plate that provides excellent resistance to acids and alkalis, ensuring long-term durability. This design helps protect the hot plate from chemical damage during routine laboratory use.
