Overall good value for money and a reliable product.
Application Area: Used for controlled heating of samples during formulation work.
"We use a number of hot plates model number C-MAG HS 10 digital. Fairly easy to use, reaches the set temperature quickly and also maintains the set temperature. A good after sales service is provided by IKA and the response is pretty quick. The products are generally on the expensive side however the overall value for money is good. The thin metal temperature probe is pretty fragile and can easily get damaged when used in conjunction with a stirring blade."

Precise and safe heating.
Application Area:Microbiology lab
"Heating and drying can be done easily and safely while maintaining temperature. It also contains an error code display. We use it for heat fixation of slides and for drying purpose in our lab."

Good heater.
Application Area:Materials synthesis
"The heater is easy to use. Even at around 450 degrees celcius, there is hardly any radiation loss. This lets us to work without problems. Because of this, the heater is energy efficient. Temperature setting is very easy."

Excellent performance with great thermal conductance.
Application Area:Organic synthesis
"The thermal conductance of the top aluminium pan is excellent, especially when I want to perform organic synthesis at a stable temperature. It is working well with the temperature probe, and the heat-up speed is consistent. With the aid of this new product, I was confident in prolonging my synthesis for an overnight reaction. I love its safety feature very much."

Safety and precision is our focus.
Application Area:Chemistry and biochemistry
"The hot plates gave me confidence in term of safety in the lab based on the design and built. Also the precision of the heat supplied to the samples help in reproducibility of results especially reaction process."
IKA hotplates allow for precise and safe heating and tempering due to a platform made from glass ceramics that ensures the best possible chemical resistance. The universal lab hotplates offer a high level of safety due to a fixed safety circuit, the Hot Top Indicator, and the error code display. An electronic contact thermometer may be connected for highly precise temperature control. Functionality, safety, and longevity are the main goals in the development of IKA hotplates.
