Model UC150 has a glass ceramic top which has excellent chemical resistance. The surface is easy to clean and allows high plate temperatures for faster heating. The hot plate has microprocessor control and an innovative LED based true °C temperature setting system rather than simply a 1 to 10 arbitrary scale. The unit can also be used in conjunction with the SCT1 digital contact thermometer to accurately control sample temperature rather than plate temperature.
The “Hot” warning light will flash whenever the plate temperature is above 50°C even when the hot plate is turned off and unplugged from the mains.
