New EchoTherm™ High Capacity Digital Hot Plates & Stirrers

Carlsbad, CA — Torrey Pines Scientific announces its new EchoTherm™ High Capacity Hot Plates and Digital Stirring Hot Plates.

The EchoTherm™ Models HP51 and HS51 Digital Hot Plates and Digital Stirring Hot Plates are rugged and designed for large samples. The units feature membrane keyboards and full function liquid crystal displays where all parameters are continuously visible. These units can store two of the user’s favorite settings in memory for instant recall and use at any time.

They are ideal for use with large samples in chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental, biochemical, electronic, and other laboratories where temperature accuracy, ease of use, and reproducible sample preparations are a must.

Tops are available in a choice of Chemically Resistant Ceramic or Milled-Flat Cast Aluminum. Both tops are 12" by 12" square. The Ceramic top has a 1,400-watt heater. The Aluminum top has a 1,200-watt heater and is recommended for working with solids directly on the heater plate surface.

Temperatures can be set up to 450°C on both the ceramic and cast aluminum topped units. The units are readable and settable to 1°C. Accuracy is one percent over the entire temperature range. Temperature control is by PID software and is controlled to ±1°C or ºF.

Stirrer speeds can be set from 100 to 1,500 rpm. The built-in timer can be set to 99 hours and is readable to 1 second. These units have an audible alarm with user settable auto-off for turning off the heater and stirrer when the timer counts down to zero. The units are supplied with an immersion probe for controlling solution temperatures directly.

All units are available in 100, 115, and 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz models.
