The coated aluminum top plate offers excellent heat transmission and has been combined with a state-of-the-art digital temperature control for rapid heating across the entire plate. The angled housing provides stability while deflecting spills away from the controls. The "Hot" warning light will flash whenever the plate temperature is above 50°C. An independent safety circuit protects against overheating and internal electronic components are protected against corrosion. Units accommodate multiple vessels, one large container, or even microscope slides.
