tested the CAT MCS 66, we liked it so much that we all three got one.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stirring hotplates are handy for any number of uses but alas our superannuated Thermolyne was unable to accurately maintain temperatures in the 18C\/85F to 46C\/115F range, so we were looking for something requiring less monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wowza, imaging our surprise after putting the CAT MCS 66 through numerous applications in both upper and lower ranges, and seeing how rock solid it holds set points in both the upper and lower ranges.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed it sat at 46.0C for two days without the reading changing even 0.1 degrees, and the 46C agreed with our control lab thermometer as close as we could read it, as well as correlated within 0.1 of our dual laser infra-red optical thermometer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"214\"

hot plate surface, and the temperature of the solution separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our own correlation test, a 500 ml beaker of water on a 36C hotplate, stabilized and held unwavering at 28.5C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\"

was able to spin the stir bar sitting ambient temperature vegetable glycerin, through the stainless steel bain marie pot, where our ancient Thermodyne wouldn\u2019t spin it in a glass beaker of the same solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a picture that I took of the vortex it created in a beaker of water just idling at less than half throttle.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
