Oil Bath with Magnetic Stirrer
The Oil Bath with Magnetic Stirrer combines precise temperature control, efficient heating, and integrated stirring in a single benchtop system. Designed for applications that require temperatures beyond the limits of a standard water bath, this unit can operate as both a water bath and an oil bath. As a result, laboratories can perform a wider range of heating and mixing procedures using one piece of equipment. Vertex Analytical supplies this affordable solution to laboratories throughout South Africa, supporting research, quality control, industrial testing, and educational applications. The integrated stirring system promotes uniform heat distribution, while advanced temperature control helps maintain stable operating conditions during demanding laboratory procedures.

Overview
The Oil Bath with Magnetic Stirrer is designed for laboratories that require controlled heating and continuous sample mixing. Unlike conventional heating baths, this system combines a heated bath chamber with a built-in magnetic stirring mechanism to improve temperature consistency throughout the heating medium.
The unit supports both water and oil as heating media. Therefore, users can select the most suitable option based on their required operating temperature. Water bath applications can reach temperatures up to 100°C, while oil bath applications can operate at temperatures up to 250°C.
Consequently, this system serves as both a high temperature water bath and a versatile heating platform for elevated temperature laboratory work.
Dual Water Bath and Oil Bath Operation
The Oil Bath with Magnetic Stirrer accommodates different heating media, allowing laboratories to perform routine water bath applications as well as higher-temperature oil bath procedures. This flexibility reduces the need for multiple heating devices and helps laboratories optimise equipment budgets.Integrated Magnetic Stirring
The built-in stirring system continuously circulates the heating medium, promoting even heat distribution throughout the bath. As a result, samples receive more consistent thermal exposure. Additionally, forward and reverse stirring functions improve mixing performance, particularly when working with viscous liquids or larger sample volumes.Precise Temperature Control
The system incorporates advanced temperature monitoring and control functions to maintain stable operating conditions. Furthermore, the optional PT1000 external temperature sensor provides direct sample temperature monitoring. Therefore, users can reduce temperature fluctuations and improve process control during critical applications.Concealed Heating Coil Design
The heating element remains concealed within the bath structure, allowing heat to transfer evenly throughout the vessel. Consequently, the Oil Bath with Magnetic Stirrer delivers uniform heating while reducing localised hot spots that may affect sensitive samples.Stainless Steel Construction
The bath chamber features stainless steel construction for durability and resistance to corrosion. In addition, the interior surface incorporates protective coatings that support operation at elevated temperatures.Applications
The Oil Bath with Magnetic Stirrer functions as a high temperature laboratory bath, it is particularly useful for procedures that require temperatures above the limits of standard water baths, including:- Chemical synthesis
- Sample digestion
- Reagent preparation
- Pharmaceutical research
- Materials testing
- Polymer studies
- Quality control testing
- Academic laboratory research
- Industrial process development
Performance and Convenience
Laboratories often require both accurate temperature control and reliable sample mixing. Therefore, the Oil Bath with Magnetic Stirrer combines these functions within a compact benchtop design. The integrated stirring system promotes uniform temperature distribution, while the concealed heating coil enables efficient heat transfer. As a result, users benefit from faster heating response and more stable operating conditions. Moreover, the forward/reverse stirring function helps improve mixing uniformity across different applications.Safety and Reliability
Safety remains important whenever laboratories work with elevated temperatures. Therefore, the Oil Bath with Magnetic Stirrer incorporates automatic over-temperature protection. If the system exceeds the user-defined temperature limit, power is automatically interrupted to help protect samples and equipment. Additionally, the lock function prevents accidental parameter changes during operation. Consequently, laboratories can maintain more consistent experimental conditions throughout longer procedures.
Precise temperature control with over temperature protection ensures safe and reliable heating operation performance
Concealed heating coil provides rapid uniform heating with efficient temperature distribution across the chamber
