Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Stylish and economical general purpose hotplates designed with safety as well as performance in mind. The compact shape takes up less bench space and makes storage easier. The hotplate has microprocessor control and an innovative LED based true °C temperature setting system rather than simply a 1 to 10 arbitrary scale._x000D_ The unit can also be used in conjunction with the SCT1 digital temperature controller, to accurately control sample temperature rather than plate temperature._x000D_ The "Hot" warning light will flash whenever the plate temperature is above 50°C even when the hotplate is turned off and unplugged from the mains._x000D_ 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._x000D_ Model US150 has a robust aluminium/silicon alloy top plate for excellent heat transmission. The top plate has a thin ceramic coating for added chemical resistance. A 700W element gives rapid heating and ensures even temperature distribution across the whole surface of the plate._x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ Stuart is a trademark of Bibby Sterlin Ltd.
