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 top plate cools down. Stir protection; if stirrer motor stops or fails, unit will automatically shut down heater. 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 heater. Microprocessor control with enhanced electronics regulates both heating and stirring and brings samples to temperature quickly and efficiently. Ramping feature slowly increases speed for improved safety and enhanced coupling. Avoids splashing, improves spin bar control and provides excellent low end speed control. Ceramic tops feature a chemically resistant, reflective white top plate surface that is easy to clean. Durable aluminium tops will not crack or chip, and provide a more even heating surface.
