LCD Digital Heating Magnetic Stirrer (MS-H-ProA )

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. High-Precision Heating and Stirring for Clinical Chemistry Sample Preparation
Primary Use: Provides a programmable, LCD digital heating magnetic stirrer with a 5-inch ceramic-coated aluminum work plate and a maintenance-free brushless DC motor, used for the heating and mixing of aqueous solutions, buffers, reagents, and clinical chemistry preparations, with a maximum stirring capacity of 20 liters, a speed range of 100 to 1500 rpm, and a heating temperature range from room temperature up to 340°C.
How it helps: For the clinical chemistry technologist, the LCD Digital Heating Magnetic Stirrer PID temperature control technology and high-resolution LCD display showing both set and actual values ensure consistent thermal conditions for sample preparation. The ceramic-coated aluminum work plate provides fast, uniform heating and excellent chemical resistance against aggressive reagents, ensuring reliable performance and easy cleaning. For the patient, the consistent and reproducible preparation of reagents and samples supports the accuracy of diagnostic test results, ensuring reliable clinical decision-making.
2. Exact Sample Temperature Control for Sensitive Clinical Assays
Primary Use: Enables precise external sample temperature control by connecting an optional PT1000 temperature sensor, which provides ±0.2°C accuracy, used for sensitive clinical assays such as enzyme activity determinations, protein denaturation studies, and other temperature-critical diagnostic procedures.
How it helps: For the clinical laboratory scientist, the PT1000 external sensor allows the instrument to regulate the actual temperature of the sample liquid rather than just the work plate, ensuring exact thermal conditions are maintained throughout the experiment. The three selectable heating modes—fast heating, standard heating, and stable heating—allow users to choose the optimal thermal profile for their specific application. For the patient, precise sample temperature control ensures that diagnostic test results for conditions requiring thermal stability are accurate and reproducible.
3. Sample Digestion and Processing for Trace Element Analysis
Primary Use: For trace element analysis workflows, such as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), the LCD Digital Heating Magnetic Stirrer provides the precise sample heating required for digesting clinical specimens—including blood, urine, or tissue homogenates—with strong acids and oxidizing agents, thanks to the stirring function ensuring homogeneous digestion.
How it helps: For the trace element analysis technologist, the instrument’s robust, chemical-resistant ceramic-coated aluminum plate ensures durability when exposed to harsh digestion reagents. The digital control and 1°C temperature increments allow users to set and maintain the specific acidic reaction temperature required for complete digestion. For the patient, accurate digestion is a critical step in quantifying essential elements or identifying heavy metal toxicity, supporting correct diagnosis and treatment.
4. Preparation of Culture Media in Clinical Microbiology
Primary Use: Enables the safe heating and melting of solid or solidified culture media, nutrient broths, and agars in glassware suitable for clinical microbiology workflows, including the preparation of culture plates, slants, and broth tubes for pathogen isolation, while simultaneously stirring to ensure a homogeneous solution.
How it helps: For the clinical microbiology technologist, the LCD Digital Heating Magnetic Stirrer uniform heating up to 340°C, coupled with an adjustable stirring function, allows the even suspension of ingredients without localized overheating that could degrade heat-sensitive components. Two independent safety circuits are built into the instrument. If a sensor failure or overheating occurs, the system automatically stops heating to protect the sample. For the patient, properly prepared culture media support the accurate identification of pathogens from clinical specimens, enabling appropriate therapy.
5. Heating and Incubation for Immunoassay and ELISA Workflows
Primary Use: Can be used as a compact incubator for the controlled heating of microplates and reaction tubes during various stages of immunoassay protocols, including antigen-antibody incubation, enzyme activation, and color development steps in ELISA and other immunodiagnostic procedures, when placed directly on or above the heating surface.
How it helps: For the immunology laboratory technologist, the LCD Digital Heating Magnetic Stirrer 5-inch flat plate is flat and compatible with a wide range of heating vessels and modules, including metal block heaters designed to hold microplates and tubes. The programmable timer from 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes automatically stops heating when the countdown finishes, preventing accidental sample damage. For the patient, consistent incubation conditions during immunoassay processing ensure reliable detection of infectious disease markers, autoimmune antibodies, or allergy indicators, reducing the risk of false results.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  • Burn Hazard: The work plate can reach 340°C and remains hot for an extended period after the power is turned off. Do not touch the work plate for at least 30 minutes after use, or until the residual heat “HOT” indicator turns off.
  • Fire Hazard: Do not operate the stirrer near flammable materials, solvents, or gases. Always use a fume hood when heating volatile or hazardous samples.
  • Suitability of Vessels: Use only vessels, magnetic stir bars, and temperature probes rated for the maximum temperature of the experiment (340°C) and that are chemically compatible with the heated solution.
  • Vibration/Stability: Do not place the stirrer on a vibrating surface.
  • Electrical Safety: Regularly check the power cord and plug for damage. Do not operate with wet hands.

FIRST AID MEASURES

  • Thermal Burn: Immediately cool the affected skin area with cool (not ice-cold) running water for at least 15 minutes. Do not apply ointments or creams. Cover the burn with a sterile, non-adhesive dressing. Seek medical attention.
  • Sample Splash (Chemical/Biological): Flush the affected area with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove any contaminated clothing. Seek immediate medical attention and refer to the SDS for the specific chemical involved.
  • Electrical Shock: Turn off the power and unplug the unit before attempting to assist the victim. Seek emergency medical attention.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  • Suitable extinguishing media: Use carbon dioxide (CO₂), dry chemical (ABC class), or alcohol-resistant foam for electrical fires or fires involving flammable solvents.
  • Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use a solid stream of water on an electrical fire.

Special hazards: Overheating can cause chemical decomposition and the release of hazardous toxic fumes. Hot materials can cause severe burns.
