Corning Life Sciences Announces Launch of New Digital Hot Plates, Stirrers and Stirring Hot Plates in Europe

Corning Life Sciences, a global supplier of scientific laboratory and drug discovery products for more than 90 years, today announced the introduction of new digital hot plates, stirrers and stirring hot plates to its range of products available to customers in Europe. The new digital displays on these products feature : a digital temperature display adjustable in 5 degree increments and set temperature indicator; optimum digital stir speed display indicator; and an external temperature controller for precision accuracy.

Digital displays provide Corning Life Sciences customers with outstanding clarity, functionality, and brightness through easy-to-read LED indicated temperature and stir speed settings. The new stir and heat displays are also Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) approved and allow for specific settings that enable labs to establish routine protocols.

Digital display hot plates and stirrers help scientists to be more precise in their experiments. Corning's new temperature controller brings precision temperature accuracy "inside the beaker". Plug in the controller, set the desired temperature and walk away. The controller will insure that the set temperature remains constant.

"Corning Life Sciences is constantly looking at ways to enhance our leading products with new and innovative technologies to best help our customers improve their lab experience but also enhance the quality and accuracy of their research," said Cheryl Gingras, Equipment Product Manager, Corning Life Sciences. "Through our ongoing conversations with customers, we recognized the need to introduce a digital display feature and temperature controller to ensure a safer environment for easy, repeatable and accurate lab testing."

The Corning^® hot plates and stirrers are designed to easily and safely identify overheating, conserve lab space, provide for uniform heating and better contrast during applications that require monitoring of color changes, and feature a closed-loop stirring control that monitors and regulates speed. Additionally, all units show international symbols for non-English-speaking operators and all carry the CE mark.
