About This Product
Among the Hot Plates, this stirring model is used in chemical synthesis, physical and chemical analysis and bio-pharmaceutical work. PID control brings the ceramic coated plate to the target temperature quickly, and with an external sensor in its socket the unit displays and controls the actual liquid temperature. A standard retort base slides underneath and a retort rod fits the integral fitting, so glassware can be clamped over the plate.
Frequently Asked Questions
