The MRC Laboratory Analog Ceramic Top Hotplates are designed for years of reliable and trouble-free performance, even with 24/7 continuous performance. Made with a high temperature ceramic hotplate top, rugged housing, and analog controls to provide exceptional value, performance, and reliability in industrial and laboratory hotplates.

Applications

• General lab and microbiology heating requirements,
• Distillations, extractions & digestions,
• Aqueous and general reagent heating,
• Media preparation,
• Liquid evaporation,
• Semiconductor baking,
• Acid/Base digestions (trace metal analysis),
• Sample drying,
• Microscale chemistry,
• Heat TLC plates,
• Paste, adhesive & solder (warning/curing),
• Solubility and viscosity studies,
• Reaction optimization.

Features

• High impact ceramic top plate: 
• Excellent strength and acid and alkali resistance, and
• Remains flat at temperature to ensure maximum heat transfer,
• Reflective white top for easy sample viewing,
• Rapid heating to reach 500 °C maximum in about 8 minutes,
• Not recommended for use with metal vessels.
• Analog control provides a temperature sensitive “stepless” adjustment to set and maintain stable temperature, Hydraulic thermostat hotplate sensor to minimize thermal overshoot and undershoot,
• Safety shut down of heater in the event of broken sensor,
• Illuminated 'Heat On' indicator for safety,
• Thermal radiation shields below top plate for safety and reliability, even during continuous high temperature operation,
• Aluminum housing with chemically resistant paint,
• Sturdy set screw support device at the rear of the base to holds standard labware mounting rod.

Specifications

• Temperature range: Up to 500°C
