Four E’s Scientific MS310 Multi Position Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer
The Four E’s Scientific MS310 is a multi position magnetic hotplate stirrer designed for laboratories that need to run multiple heated stirring processes in parallel, such as a row of Erlenmeyer flasks in a reflux or extraction workflow. Each of the 10 positions uses wear-free magnetic coil technology, providing noiseless, consistent stirring without the mechanical wear associated with traditional motor-driven designs.
Unlike the single-position hotplate stirrers in the range, the MS310 operates at a lower maximum heating temperature (120°C) suited to gentler, sustained heating across many samples simultaneously, rather than high-temperature single-vessel work.
Key Features
10 Independent Stirring and Heating Positions
All 10 positions support synchronous heating and stirring, with a stirring position distance of 93mm suited to standard laboratory glassware such as Erlenmeyer flasks.
Wear-Free Magnetic Coil Technology
Magnetic coil drive technology provides noiseless, consistent stirring across all 10 positions without the wear associated with traditional mechanical motor designs.
Economic Mode
An economic mode allows the work plate to maintain automatic heating at low temperature, useful for extended, gentle heating over long sample runs.
Adjustable Reverse Rotation
Reverse rotation can be enabled across all positions, improving mixing consistency for a wider range of sample types.
Skid-Resistant Silicone Work Plate
The stainless steel work plate with silicone surface is skid-resistant and provides excellent heating uniformity across all 10 positions.

Applications
The MS310 10-Position Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer is suited to a range of laboratory applications including:
- Parallel reflux and extraction workflows — 10 simultaneous positions for Erlenmeyer flasks or similar vessels
- Teaching laboratories — multiple students can run replicate experiments simultaneously
- Method development and screening — testing multiple conditions or replicates in parallel
- Gentle, sustained heating applications — economic mode suits long, low-temperature runs
- High-throughput sample preparation — reduces bench space compared with multiple single-position stirrers
MS310 vs MI0102005 — Single or Multi-Position Stirring?
The MS310 trades higher single-vessel temperature capability for the ability to run 10 samples in parallel at a lower maximum temperature (120°C). For single-vessel work requiring higher temperatures up to 510°C, the MI0102005 7-Inch Magnetic Hotplate Stirrer is the better fit. For standard single-position heated stirring, see the MI0102002 and MI0102010 models.
