The H3710-S is the Digital Magnetic Stirrer — Benchmark Scientific's 10 × 10-inch stir-only digital benchtop stirrer at $634. Stir without heating — completes the H3710 family triad: heat-only / stir-only / heat-and-stir. Universal-input chassis (120 V or 230 V, 500 W).
Author confidence note (MEDIUM) — class flag: Universe consumable is incorrect for a capital stirrer; flagging FQ-class. No specific brochure in available corpus — confirm exact stirring speed range, magnetic-field strength, and stir-bar size compatibility with Benchmark Scientific tech support.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

H3710 Family Decision — Heat / Stir / Both
The 10 × 10-inch H3710 chassis ships in three configurations at the same $634 base price (heat or stir alone) with a $248 step-up for the combined heat+stir:
| SKU | Heat | Stir | List |
| H3710-H | Yes | No | $634 |
| H3710-S (this product) | No | Yes | $634 |
| H3710-HS | Yes | Yes | $882 |
Pick the H3710-S Digital Magnetic Stirrer when:
- Stir-only workflow routine — no heating requirement
- Room-temperature mixing — buffer mixing, sample homogenization at ambient
- Heat-sensitive sample workflows — extended stirring without thermal damage risk
- Cost-optimized stirrer procurement when heating isn't required
Step up to H3710-HS heat+stir ($882) when simultaneous heat + stir is required (solution preparation, controlled-temperature dissolution).
Pick H3710-H heat-only ($634) for heating without stirring workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the H3710-S provide heating? No. It is the stir-only configuration — no heating. For heating, choose the H3710-H (heat-only) or H3710-HS (heat and stir).
What is the stirring surface size? 10 × 10 inches.
What are the other H3710 configurations? H3710-H (heat-only, $634), H3710-S (stir-only, $634, this product), and H3710-HS (heat and stir, $882).
What voltage does the H3710-S use? A universal-input chassis rated 120 V or 230 V, 50–60 Hz, 500 W.
Ordering & Configuration
Plan stir-bar inventory — magnetic stir bars are workflow consumables (typical 1-inch / 2-inch / 3-inch sizes by vessel size).
Confirm at quote: voltage / plug type, intended workflow (stir-only / heat-only / heat+stir), stir-bar inventory, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms.
H3710 family triad: H3710-H (heat-only, $634), H3710-S (this product, stir-only, $634), H3710-HS (heat+stir, $882). Pick by workflow needs.
