Abstract: The invention is concerned with improvements in the technical field of laboratory devices. To this end, what is proposed, inter alia, is a laboratory device (1) that has, on its housing (2), at least one coupling interface (3) and at least one mating coupling interface (4) compatible with the coupling interface (3). The coupling interface (3) and the mating coupling interface (4) are configured to transfer power and/or to transfer information.

Abstract: For expanding the scope of functions of an existing magnetic stirrer in a simple manner, a function adapter (3) is proposed which is equipped in order to convert a movement variable fed into the function adapter (3) by a magnetic stirrer (2) and output the same in a converted manner.

Abstract: A temperature measuring device (1) with a thermometer (2) has a plurality of temperature sensors (3) on one side (10), which function on an electrical basis. The thermometer (2) is immersed in a container or beaker (4) set up in a usage position on a heating plate (102) of a magnetic stirrer (100) and in a medium (5) present therein. The plurality of temperature sensors (3) are arranged spaced apart from one other vertically on the temperature measuring device (1), and are immersed in the medium (5) at different heights in the usage position. It is therefore possible firstly to recognize a temperature stratification inside the medium (5), and secondly, to detect level changes of the medium (5) in the interior of the container (4).
