AREX 5 Digital Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

AREX 5 Digital Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

Product Description

The AREX 5 Digital Hot Plate Stirrer from Velp Scientifica is designed for laboratories that require high precision, reproducibility, and safety in heating and stirring operations. With advanced digital thermoregulation, robust construction, and innovative features, it ensures accurate temperature control for even the most temperature-sensitive applications.

Equipped with Velp’s CerAlTop™ ceramic-coated aluminum alloy plate, the AREX 5 Digital guarantees excellent heat distribution, chemical resistance, and durability. Its brushless motor and SpeedServo™ torque compensation ensure stable stirring performance, even when sample viscosity changes.

Key Features

• Digital interface for precise control of speed and temperature

• CerAlTop™ plate resistant to chemicals and capable of reaching up to 310 °C

• External probe compatibility (Pt100, Pt1000, VTF) for direct thermoregulation in the medium

• Two selectable thermoregulation modes:

  • FAST: quickly reaches setpoint with minimal overshoot

  • FINE: gradual approach with optimized overshoot for delicate samples

• High stirring capacity: up to 20 L of aqueous solutions
