IKA C-MAG HS 10 Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer

The IKA C-MAG HS 10 is a laboratory hotplate magnetic stirrer designed for simultaneous heating and magnetic stirring of laboratory samples. The model designation “IKA C-MAG HS 10” is clearly visible on the front panel of the photographed instrument. It features a large ceramic heating surface, separate controls for heating temperature and stirring speed, and a front temperature display.

The C-MAG HS 10 is designed for routine laboratory applications where controlled heating and agitation are required. According to IKA's published specifications, the instrument provides a 100–1500 rpm stirring range, a 50–500 °C heating range, and a maximum stirring quantity of 15 L of water. The unit has a 1500 W heating output and a ceramic working plate measuring approximately 260 × 260 mm.

The photographed unit shows the characteristic blue IKA C-MAG HS 10 housing, ceramic top plate, temperature control knob, stirring-speed control knob, and temperature display. The equipment has substantial cosmetic wear, dirt, scratches, and discoloration consistent with previous laboratory use. The exact electrical version should be confirmed from the rating plate before operation because the C-MAG HS 10 has been manufactured in different voltage configurations.

The C-MAG HS 10 is suitable for laboratories requiring dependable heating and mixing of chemical solutions, buffers, reagents, samples, and other laboratory preparations. Its large ceramic plate and high heating output make it suitable for relatively large laboratory vessels.

Applications

The IKA C-MAG HS 10 can be used for chemical solution preparation, reagent mixing, buffer preparation, dissolution, sample preparation, laboratory synthesis, evaporation-support processes, and general heating/stirring operations. The magnetic stirring function provides continuous agitation while the integrated hotplate provides controlled heating.

It is suitable for research laboratories, pharmaceutical laboratories, chemical laboratories, biotechnology facilities, educational institutions, quality-control laboratories, and industrial laboratories. The 15 L maximum stirring quantity and 20 kg maximum load specified by IKA make it useful for larger laboratory vessels compared with smaller hotplate stirrers.

Technical Specifications

IKA's official technical data confirms the 100–1500 rpm speed range, 15 L maximum stirring quantity, 20 kg maximum load, 1500 W heat output, 50–500 °C heating range, 260 × 260 mm ceramic plate, 300 × 105 × 415 mm dimensions and approximately 6 kg weight for the C-MAG HS 10.

Benefits of Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

Purchasing a refurbished IKA C-MAG HS 10 can provide laboratories with a professional heating and stirring platform at a lower acquisition cost than purchasing new equipment. The instrument's combination of a large ceramic heating surface, high heating output, and variable-speed magnetic stirring makes it useful for a wide range of laboratory procedures.

Refurbished laboratory equipment can be particularly useful for research laboratories, universities, pharmaceutical facilities, chemical laboratories, biotechnology companies, and quality-control departments. Proper refurbishment should include inspection of the heating element, temperature controls, magnetic stirring motor, display, ceramic plate, electrical components, and safety circuit before the instrument is returned to service.

Additional Information

The photographed unit is clearly identified as an IKA C-MAG HS 10. The exact electrical configuration should be checked from the rear rating plate before connecting the instrument because IKA lists multiple voltage variants for this model.

The unit shown has significant cosmetic wear, dirt, scratches, and surface discoloration. The ceramic heating plate is present, but the photograph does not confirm its heating performance or the condition of the internal heating and stirring components. Any temperature probe, magnetic stir bar, power cable, or other accessories should be confirmed separately before purchase.
