Model UC152 is an analogue hotplate and stirrer from Stuart. It 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). Stylish and economical general purpose hotplate stirrers designed with safety as well as performance in mind. The compact shape takes up less bench space and makes storage easier. The units also include BioCote® antimicrobial protection which reduces the presence of odour and stain causing microbes such as bacteria, mould and fungi on the product surface by up to 99.99%. Formulated from silver ion additives, BioCote® provides built-in antimicrobial protection to support a more hygienic laboratory environment.
