VWR® Professional hotplates are designed for applications that require exceptional accuracy, stability and repeatability. Enhanced microprocessor control offers an external resistance thermometer (RTD) probe option that delivers superior temperature control of the sample. Touch pad controls with easy to read, independent LED displays for temperature and time, allow the operator to view all settings at once. Rear housing features an off-centre, built-in support rod holder with locking knob that accepts the supplied probe kit. Low profile design takes up less space and fits into fume hoods. Spill resistant housing channels fluids away from internal components. A 'hot' symbol warning light is illuminated when heat is turned on and remains on until the plate cools down. Plate over-temperature limit ensures plate temperature will never exceed users' programmed set temperature limit, allowing for control of sensitive flash points. An audible alarm will sound when time reaches zero or when unit reaches set point temperature in timed mode, and if the probe disengages from sample, unit will automatically shut off the heater. Enhanced electronics regulate heating and bring samples to temperature quickly and efficiently. Ceramic tops feature a chemically resistant, reflective white top plate surface that's easy to clean. Durable aluminium tops will not crack or chip, and will provide a more even heating surface.
