Applications

Combination stirrer/hotplate units like this Corning model are standard equipment in chemistry, biology, and biochemistry labs. They are used to heat solutions while simultaneously stirring them via a magnetic stir bar placed in the vessel — common tasks include dissolving reagents, running reactions at controlled temperatures, preparing buffers, and maintaining homogeneous mixtures during experiments. The ceramic plate surface is chemically resistant and easy to clean, making it well suited for general glassware including beakers, flasks, and crystallization dishes. Corning has been a well-regarded supplier of laboratory equipment for decades, and their stirrer/hotplate line is widely used in university, industrial, and pharmaceutical research labs. This size — 7x7 inches — accommodates standard beakers and flasks up to around 5 liters.
