PR1MA™ Hotplates, Magnetic Stirrers, and Hotplate-Stirrers

• Ceramic work surface, 7.1 x 7.1 In.
• Stir speed from 60 to 1500 rpm
• Temperature control up to 380 °C
• Three models: heat-stir, heat-only or stir only

PR1MA™ hotplates, stirrers, and hotplate-stirrers feature an exceptionally durable, chemical-resistant white ceramic work surface. Their space-efficient design (8 x 9 in. footprint), makes them ideal for use on crowded benchtops and inside of bio-hoods.

Advanced microprocessor controls with convenient turn knobs allow quick, precise adjustment and maintenance of speed and temperature. Safety indicator LED’s on the front panel indicate when the heating and/or stirring functions have been activated. With a square 7.1 In. work surface, all three models are compatible with a wide variety of popular sizes of borosilicate glass beakers, flasks, bottles, and other vessels. The hotplate/magnetic stirrer model (MS-1500) comes complete with a support rod for mounting thermometers and temperature probes.

• Digital control of temperature and CO₂
• Personal-sized, 13 x 14.5 in. footprint (20 L)
• Accepts bottles and flasks up to 2 L
• Includes 2 stainless steel shelves
• Dual beam, infrared sensor

At only 13 inches wide, the PR1MA™ Mini CO₂ Incubator is the smallest and most economical incubator for applications requiring CO₂ gas control. Its small footprint makes the incubator ideal for use inside of biological safety cabinets, isolating sensitive cultures, or for any laboratory simply trying to conserve bench space. With a thick layer of high-efficiency insulation surrounding the chamber, the incubator is also ideal for the transportation of cells. Once power has been disconnected, the incubator maintains temperature levels within 10% of the set parameter for up to 1 hour*. In addition, each model includes a 12 V vehicle power adapter for operating the instrument in a car, boat, etc.

Both temperature and CO₂ percentages are digitally adjustable and displayed in real-time on the large LED control panel. This panel also features a “Cal” function, for easy in-lab calibration of the temperature or CO₂. In addition, humidity (up to 80%) can be added to the chamber by inserting the included (stainless steel) humidity reservoir.

Despite its small size, the incubator features a relatively large 20 L chamber with the capacity for flasks and bottles up to 2 liters. Two removable, stainless-steel shelves are included. The shelves are perforated to improve airflow within the chamber.

* If disconnected from the CO₂ supply, CO₂ percentage decreases by approx. 1%/30 min.

PR1MA™ Starter Kit

The PR1MA™ Starter Kit is a comprehensive package that includes everything required to get started with accurate and reproducible pipetting. With this kit, you can ensure that your liquid handling tasks are consistent and precise. The PR1MA Starter Kit is perfect for new labs and customers who want to upgrade their existing pipetting equipment.

The PR1MA Starter Kit is different from other liquid handling starter kits because it contains four pipettes that cover a wide volume range of 0.5 µl to 1,000 µl. These pipettors are designed to provide accurate and reproducible results, and they are perfect for a wide range of applications. The pipettor volumes include 0.5 to 10 µl, 2.0 to 20 µl, 20 to 200 µl, and 100 to 1,000 µl.

In addition to the pipettes, the PR1MA Starter Kit includes three racks of PR1MA Low-Retention Pipette Tips. These tips are specially designed to reduce sample retention and ensure accurate and precise pipetting. The kit also includes a six-position carousel stand that can hold all four pipettes and a PR1MA Backpack for easy transport.

This kit offers over $250.00 in savings compared to purchasing the kit components separately!

Kit Includes:

• 4 – Alphapette™ by PR1MA Pipettors (10 μL, 20 μL, 200 μL, 1,000 μL)*

• 3 – Racks of PR1MA Low-Binding Pipette Tips (1 each: 10 μL, 200 μL, 1,250 μL tips)*
