crystal display for monitoring actual and setting temperature
and/or stirring speed. The hot plate is capable of producing
accurately controlled top plate temperatures from 30°C
through 300°C, 400°C or 450°C depending on models.
The temperature is controlled at the plate surface by an
internal Type K thermocouple sensor, or the solution
temperature may be controlled by utilizing the included PT100
probe. A PT1000 probe may be ordered separately.
