Features

• Heavy-Duty Aluminum Top:

  • Effortless Cleaning: Easy to clean surface for hassle-free maintenance.

  • Chemical Resistance: Designed to withstand exposure to a wide range of chemicals.

  • Superior Thermal Conduction: Ensures uniform heat distribution across the entire heating surface.

  • Exceptional Temperature Uniformity: Guarantees consistent heating for precise results.

  • Precise Temperature Stability: Maintains exact temperatures for critical applications.

• Advanced PID Microprocessor Controller:

  

  • Intuitive Digital Display: Provides clear digital temperature readout in °F or °C with an illuminated display for quick and easy observation.

  • Accurate Temperature Regulation: Delivers precise temperature control across the full range, even at low settings near ambient, perfect for delicate materials.

  • Temperature Stability: ±1°C

  • Closed-Loop Feedback Control: The PID microprocessor actively monitors for sudden temperature changes, preventing boil-overs, sample destruction, and lost time.

  • Flexible Temperature Control: Temperature can be controlled either by the internal plate surface sensor or by an optional external thermocouple immersion probe.

  • Programmable Functions: Features a digital timer and a ramp-to-temperature function for automated processes.

  • Digital Set-Point & Read-Out: Easy setting and real-time display of actual temperature.

  • Memory Function: Recalls and displays the previously stored set point upon unit power-on for convenience.

• Enhanced Safety & Reliability

  • Hydraulic Thermostat Sensor: Minimizes thermal overshoot and undershoot for stable temperature control.

  • Broken Sensor Safety Shut Down: Automatically turns off the heater if the sensor is compromised, preventing damage and ensuring safety.

  • Illuminated 'Heat On' Indicator: Provides a clear visual warning when the heating element is active.

  • Thermal Radiation Shields: Positioned below the top plate for increased safety and reliability, especially during continuous high-temperature operation.

  • Durable Aluminum Housing: Constructed with chemically resistant paint for longevity in demanding environments.

  • Sturdy Labware Support: Features a robust set screw support device at the rear of the base, securely holding standard labware mounting rods.

  • Safety Thermostat: Provides an additional layer of protection against overheating.
