Cole Parmer Stuart Undergrad Digital Hotplate/Stirrer - 15L Capacity

Stuart Undergrad Digital Hotplate Stirrers

About the range:

The Stuart Undergrad range has been redesigned with a modern new look and features a selection of magnetic stirrers, hotplates and hotplate stirrers. Each unit has a large square 15cm x 15cm base and a stackable design for saving space whilst not in use. This digital hotplate stirrer is available with a choice of ceramic or coated aluminium top plate. 

Features:

• Large square 15 x 15cm work plate 
• Choice of coated aluminium top plate for rapid heating and better temperature uniformity or a ceramic top plate which is chemically resistant, with cool edges to prevent burns.
• Maximum plate temperature of 325°C (coated aluminium) or 450°C (ceramic).
• 15L maximum capacity (not to be used with highly viscous liquids, for this we recommend an overhead stirrer). 
• 100 - 2000 rpm speed range. 
• Designed with micro-processor controlled dual thermocouples to ensure accurate temperature control and protection from overheating.
• “hot” warning light flashes whenever the plate surface temperature is above 50°C and continues to flash until the temperature drops below 50°C, even when unplugged.
• Dial to set the plate temperature and stirring speed, with digital LED readout of the actual temperature whilst in use.
• Robust - with a tough aluminium casing to help protect against damage from any knocks. 
• Glazed with BioCote® for antimicrobial protection - BioCote is formulation with silver ions and provides built-in antimicrobial protection reducing odor and stain causing microbes on the surface by up to 99.99%. This help prolong instrument lifespan and contributes to a hygienic lab environment. 
• Designed to prevent accidental spillage on control panel
• IP32 rated for water and dust resistance
• All models include an integral fitting for a retort rod and allow the retort base to slide underneath.

Options: 

• Analogue models are also available. 
• SCT2 temperature controller (available separately) give you the ability to control the temperature of the sample itself as opposed to just setting the plate temperature. With this range of hotplate stirrers, you can expect to receive a control accuracy of ±0.5°C. (Please note, this does not come with a retort rod which must be purchased separately to mount the controller on).
