hot plate is a heating and/or stirring plate designed
for laboratory procedures requiring precise control
of temperature and/or stirring speed. Each SUPER-
NUOVA

model includes a liquid 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. The 7 x 7 or 10 x 10 top plate on
