Digital versions of both the ceramic and ceramic coated metal hotplate stirrers are also available. These units replace the LED temperature indicator with a digital display, for those users who want to more accurately observe the hotplate surface temperature. Both digital units, the UC152D & US152D are compatible with the SCT1 temperature controller, for precise sample temperature control.
Safety in design For safety all units have been designed to direct any spills away from the user controls. A mains switch is standard (excluding Stir only models) for greater convenience and power saving. All units incorporate the latest technology, microprocessor controlled, dual thermocouples to ensure accurate temperature control and over temperature protection.
Power Powerful magnets and motor give stirring speeds up to 2000rpm and are capable of mixing large volumes (up to 15 litres).
Hot warning light All hotplate models feature a “Hot” warning light, which will flash once the hotplate surface reaches 50ºC. The “Hot” light will continue to flash even once the unit has been switched off and unplugged from the mains, until the surface temperature drops below 50ºC.
Design The Undergrad range has been designed so the units can be easily stored on their side, minimising the required storage space. The entire range of hotplate stirrers feature an integral fitting for a retort rod, but the units are also uniquely designed to allow a retort base to slide underneath, saving valuable time where numerous units need to be set up, for example in an educational environment.
