Model UC150 is an analogue hotplate from Stuart with a glass ceramic top which has excellent chemical resistance. The surface is easy to clean and allows high plate temperatures for faster heating. The hot plate has microprocessor control and an innovative LED based true °C temperature setting system rather than simply a 1 to 10 arbitrary scale. A coloured LED indicator surrounds the heat control knob illuminating the actual surface temperature in real time. The unit can also be used in conjunction with the SCT1 digital contact thermometer to accurately control sample temperature rather than plate 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.
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.
Please Note: BioCote® technology does not protect users or others against disease causing bacteria, germs, viruses, or other harmful organisms. This technology is not a substitute for good hygiene and/or cleaning practices.

Stylish and economical general purpose hotplate designed with safety as well as performance in mind. The compact, stackable design takes up less bench space and makes storage easier.
It has an integral fitting for a retort rod and the bottom is shaped to allow a retort base to slide underneath the unit if required so saving further bench space.
