iStir HP 15M Fifteen-Position Hotplate Stirrer
iStir HP 15M Fifteen-Position Hotplate Stirrer
High-throughput synchronous heating and stirring for up to fifteen samples
The iStir HP 15M is a high-capacity multi-position hotplate stirrer designed for laboratories that need to heat and mix large numbers of samples under consistent operating conditions.
Fifteen stirring positions each accommodate up to 400 ml, providing a combined maximum capacity of 6 litres. All positions operate synchronously, helping ensure that each sample receives the same stirring speed, temperature and processing time.
A maintenance-free brushless DC motor, digital control, programmable pulse mixing and uniform heating make the iStir HP 15M an excellent solution for high-throughput research, quality-control and sample-preparation workflows.
Process fifteen samples at once.
Increase laboratory throughput while maintaining consistent heating, stirring speed and run time across every vessel.

High-Throughput Parallel Processing
The fifteen-position working surface enables complete batches of samples to be processed together. All positions use the same speed, temperature and timer settings, helping reduce variability between vessels.
This makes the instrument particularly useful for repetitive sample preparation, comparative experiments, formulation work and laboratory procedures where multiple samples must be treated under identical conditions.
Uniform Heating Across Fifteen Positions
The stainless-steel heating surface is designed to provide homogeneous temperature distribution across the complete working area. Heating can be adjusted from ambient temperature up to 120°C.
A silicone anti-slip sheet helps secure vessels during operation, while the waterproof heater incorporates an integrated safety cut-off for added protection.
Programmable Pulse Mixing
Pulse mode periodically changes the stirring direction to promote improved liquid circulation and more thorough mixing. The pulse interval can be programmed between 30 and 99 seconds to suit different samples and procedures.
