1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a PCE-MSR 300 from PCE Instruments.
Magnetic PCE-MSR 300 has a large display and ability to set temperature, stirring speed and time. The
adjusted data can be read directly on the display of the magnetic stirrer. The maximum stirring capacity in
this magnetic stirrer is 2 liters. The heating plate of the magnetic PCE-MSR 300 can be heated to a
temperature of 300 ° C. The temperature sensor located in the delivery of the liquid determines the
temperature of the preset temperature and is monitored by the magnetic stirrer. With the simple geometry
of the magnetic stir bar, the magnetic PCE-MSR 300 also considerably facilitates purification and
cleansing. To get the small magnets out of the containers, one uses a long, plastic coated magnetic rod.
