Schott Glass introduces two new hotplates offering stirring and heating, made with corrosion resistant and uninflammable duroplastic casings
Laboratory managers seeking efficient and accurate instrumentation to heat and stir liquids need look no further than Schott's new range of hotplates and stirrers.
All Schott laboratory hotplates and stirrers comply with international quality standards and their Ceran glass-ceramic heating surfaces are resistant to chemicals and temperature shocks of more than 700C.
Dirt and spillages can be simply wiped off the pore-free flat surfaces and because devices are controlled using infrared touch-control technology, cleaning and servicing are kept to a bare minimum.
The range includes the SLK 1 and SLK 2 hotplates which offer heating power of 1.2kW and 1.8kW respectively with virtually homogenous temperature distribution.
Both are made with a duroplastic casing that is corrosion-resistant and uninflammable.
An optional temperature sensor can be connected to the SLK 2T version for applications that require temperature-controlled heating.
Temperatures can be controlled between 35C and 199C, with actual and set temperatures easily monitored on a state-of-the-art LED display.
The SLR offers stirring and heating, with each function controlled separately so that liquids can be mixed at varying speeds and temperatures.
The SLK 6 is ideal for laboratories needing a little more flexibility as it combines a powerful heating plate on one side with a hotplate and stirrer on the other.
