Model UC152 has a glass ceramic top which has excellent chemical resistance. The surface is easy to clean and the thermal properties allow very high plate temperatures while ensuring the edges stay cooler, reducing the chance of accidental burns. The white surface ensures good visibility of colour changes. The hot plate has an innovative LED temperature indicator scale and can also be used in conjunction with the SCT1 digital contact thermometer to accurately control sample 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. Powerful magnets and motor give stirring speeds up to 1500rpm and is capable of mixing large volumes (up to 15 litres).
