Applications
The Corning PC-351 is a classic benchtop instrument used throughout chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical laboratory settings for routine mixing and heating tasks. It is well suited for dissolving solids into solution, maintaining reaction temperatures, preparing buffer solutions, and general sample preparation where simultaneous heating and stirring are needed. The ceramic top plate resists chemical spills and is compatible with standard flat-bottomed laboratory glassware — beakers, flasks, and Erlenmeyer flasks up to the unit's plate area. The PC-351 dates from the era of Corning's durable, no-frills American-made laboratory instruments and remains a practical workhorse for bench chemistry. Units like this are commonly found in teaching labs, quality control labs, and small research settings where a reliable combined hot plate/stirrer is needed without the added complexity of a digital controller.
This Corning PC-351 Laboratory Hot Plate Magnetic Stirrer is in used condition. The unit shows general cosmetic wear consistent with lab use — the white ceramic top plate has visible soiling and staining, and the housing shows some scuffing and grime on the exterior. Both control knobs and the indicator light are present and intact. The power cord is attached and the plug is in good physical shape. The unit has not been powered up or tested at our facility, but it was pulled from a working lab environment where it was previously in use.
