DLAB DMS5-340M

The Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer (DMS5) is a high-performance, programmable benchtop instrument engineered for reliable, precise, and safe simultaneous heating and stirring in clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical quality control, analytical chemistry, trace element analysis, and life science research. Combining a maximum stirring capacity of up to 20 liters with a powerful heating capability up to 340°C on a 5-inch (Ø135 mm) ceramic-coated aluminum work plate, the DMS5 is the ideal choice for demanding laboratory applications including high-viscosity sample mixing, strong acid digestions, culture media preparation, and chemical synthesis.

The Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer (DMS5) series offers three selectable heating modes—fast heating, standard heating, and stable heating—allowing users to choose the optimal thermal profile for their specific application. The programmable timer, ranging from 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes, enables unattended operation with automatic shutdown upon completion and independent heating/stirring control. Safety is paramount with dual independent safety circuits providing redundant over-temperature protection, an independent residual heat warning indicator ("HOT" lights up at >50°C and stays on even after the unit is turned off), a safety lock to prevent accidental setting changes, and IP42 protection class for dust and water resistance.

The DMS5-340M variant features an enhanced magnetic technology with a high-temperature resistant strong magnet, providing extra stirring torque necessary for working with viscous liquids such as 50% glycerol, concentrated cell lysates, and dissolved polymers.

For the clinical laboratory scientist, trace element analysis technologist, and pharmaceutical quality control analyst, the DMS5 Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer delivers the programmable, precise, and safe heating and stirring required for clinical chemistry sample preparation, trace metal analysis sample digestion (blood lead, urine cadmium), culture media preparation, enzyme activity assays, and drug dissolution testing. For the patient, the reliable performance of this instrument ensures that diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical products are accurate and reproducible, directly supporting effective clinical decision-making, appropriate treatment selection, and patient safety.
