Sophisticated stirrer hotplates offering digital control of both temperature and stirring speed. Comes complete with a detachable PTFE coated probe which when immersed in a liquid sample can very accurately control its temperature to within ±0.5°C even over a very long period of time.
As the hotplate heats the sample to the set temperature, the advanced microprocessor automatically measures the rate of temperature rise to judge the capacity and nature of samples (e.g. oil or aqueous). It then optimises the heating rate to minimize overshoot and time to set point. An audible alert sounds when the set temperature has been reached.
Both set and actual temperature of the sample are displayed simultaneously on a bright, easy to read vacuum fluorescent display. For maximum security, an independent safety circuit automatically sets to 20°C above the set temperature and shuts off the heater if the temperature exceeds this. Therefore, the hotplate is safe to leave on continuously, even unsupervised e.g. overnight. Internal electronic components are protected against corrosion with a special coating.
