iStir HP 10M Ten-Position Hotplate Stirrer
iStir HP 10M Ten-Position Hotplate Stirrer
Synchronous heating and stirring for up to ten laboratory samples
The iStir HP 10M is a high-performance multi-position hotplate stirrer designed to heat and mix up to ten samples simultaneously.
Each position can accommodate up to 400 ml, providing a combined maximum stirring capacity of 4 litres. Synchronous stirring and uniform heating help maintain consistent processing conditions across all ten vessels.
Digital control of temperature, speed and operating time combines with programmable pulse mixing and a maintenance-free brushless DC motor to provide dependable, repeatable performance for busy laboratory workflows.
Increase throughput without filling the bench.
Heat and stir ten samples under identical conditions using one compact, digitally controlled instrument.

Consistent Parallel Processing
All ten positions operate synchronously, allowing multiple samples to be heated and mixed using the same speed, temperature and operating-time settings.
This helps reduce variation between samples and improves efficiency when preparing batches of buffers, reagents, culture media or test solutions.
Uniform Heating Across Ten Positions
The stainless-steel heating plate is engineered to distribute temperature evenly across the working area. Heating can be adjusted from ambient conditions up to 120°C.
A silicone anti-slip sheet helps keep vessels stable during operation, while the waterproof heating system incorporates a safety cut-off for additional protection.
Programmable Pulse Mixing
Pulse mode periodically changes the stirring direction to promote improved circulation and more thorough mixing. The pulse interval can be programmed from 30 to 99 seconds to suit the sample and application.
