AELAB Hotplate Stirrer AE-HS550C
delivers efficient magnetic stirring and precise heating for daily lab workflows. A glass-ceramic work plate ensures excellent chemical resistance and heat transfer, while microprocessor PID control maintains tight thermal stability up to 550°C. LCD/LED interfaces, RS232/SD data options, and PT1000 external sensing support reproducible results and traceability.
Safety features include a persistent HOT indicator above 50°C and built-in over-temperature protection. Models scale from compact 7" plates to 10" high-capacity systems up to 30 L.
