Four E’s Scientific MI0102010 5-Inch Analog Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer
The Four E’s Scientific MI0102010 analog magnetic hotplate stirrer offers the same heating range, stirring capacity, and footprint as the digital MI0102002, using straightforward scale-dial controls in place of an LED digital readout. It suits laboratories that prefer simpler analogue operation, or that don’t require the precision of external PT1000 sensor compatibility for routine heated stirring tasks.
Despite its simpler control interface, the MI0102010 retains the same double internal temperature sensing, enclosed heating plate design, and brushless DC motor found across the range, giving it the same underlying build quality at a more accessible price point.
Key Features
Heating Up to 310°C
A heating range from room temperature to 310°C, with a safety cutoff of 50–325°C, covers routine laboratory heating and stirring requirements.
Simple Scale-Dial Controls
Analogue scale dials for speed and temperature provide straightforward, no-frills operation for laboratories that don’t need digital readout or programmable timers.
Double Internal Temperature Sensing
Double internal PT1000 sensors support reliable temperature regulation even without an external probe connected.
Enclosed Heating Plate Design
The enclosed plate design reduces the risk of liquid splashing into the equipment during use.
Brushless, Explosion-Proof Motor
A maintenance-free, explosion-proof brushless DC motor drives stirring up to 20L capacity with a 55×10mm stirring bar.

Applications
The MI0102010 5-Inch Analog Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer is suited to a range of laboratory applications including:
- Routine heated buffer and reagent preparation — combined heating and stirring up to 310°C
- Teaching and training laboratories — simple analogue controls suit less specialised use
- Budget-conscious equipment procurement — same core build quality at a lower price point
- General chemistry and research applications — everyday heated mixing tasks
MI0102010 vs MI0102002 — Digital or Analog?
The MI0102010 shares the same footprint, heating range, and 20L capacity as the MI0102002 Digital Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer, but uses simpler analogue scale dials rather than LED digital display and PT1000 external sensor compatibility. Choose the MI0102010 for straightforward, lower-cost operation, or the MI0102002 for more precise, repeatable temperature control. For an even more economical option at a smaller stirring capacity, see the MI0102003 Economy Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer.
