Four E’s Scientific MI0102002 5-Inch Digital Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer
The Four E’s Scientific MI0102002 digital magnetic hotplate stirrer is a standard 5-inch platform combining heating up to 310°C with 50–1500RPM stirring in a compact bench footprint. Dual internal and external PT1000 temperature sensors and an enclosed heating plate design make it a reliable choice for routine heated stirring tasks in pharmaceutical QC, research, and academic laboratories.
The 3D digital wheel controls and LED display give precise, repeatable setup of both speed and temperature, while the enclosed plate design reduces the risk of liquid splashing into the instrument during use.
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 the majority of routine laboratory heating and stirring tasks.
Dual PT1000 Temperature Sensors
Double internal temperature sensing plus a compatible external PT1000 probe gives precise, ±1°C temperature control accuracy and automatic switch-over to external sensor mode when connected.
Enclosed Heating Plate Design
The enclosed plate design reduces the risk of liquid splashing into the equipment during use, supporting safer operation around aqueous and solvent-based samples.
3D Digital Wheel Adjustment
Independent digital wheels for speed and temperature, paired with an LED display, make setup fast and precise compared with traditional analogue dials.
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 MI0102002 5-Inch Digital 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
- Sample dissolution and extraction — precise temperature control via dual PT1000 sensing
- Pharmaceutical QC workflows — repeatable heated stirring for standard test methods
- General chemistry and research applications — everyday heated mixing tasks
- Splash-prone workflows — enclosed plate design reduces liquid ingress risk
MI0102002 vs MI0102010 — Digital or Analog?
The MI0102002 and MI0102010 Analog Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer share the same footprint, heating range, and 20L capacity — the difference is control and readout. The MI0102002 offers LED digital display with PT1000 external sensor compatibility for more precise, repeatable settings, while the MI0102010 uses simpler analogue scale dials at a lower price point. For a larger plate and higher maximum temperature, see the MI0102005 7-Inch Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer. If your laboratory needs to run and monitor several stirrers independently from one controller, see our MS321 Multi-Stirrer Hub System.
