AREX 5 Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

AREX 5 Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

Product Description

The AREX 5 Hot Plate Stirrer is a robust and reliable solution from Velp Scientifica, designed to meet laboratory needs ranging from simple stirring to temperature-sensitive applications. With its sturdy construction and advanced CerAlTop™ ceramic-coated aluminum alloy plate, the AREX 5 ensures excellent resistance to chemicals, durability, and efficient heat transfer up to 310 °C.

While it operates as a precise analog hotplate stirrer, the AREX 5 can also be upgraded with the VTF digital temperature controller, allowing full digital thermoregulation up to 300 °C with an impressive accuracy of ± 0.5 °C. Its brushless motor, combined with SpeedServo™ torque compensation, guarantees consistent stirring performance, even when the viscosity of the sample changes.
