AREC 4 Digital Ceramic Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

AREC 4 Digital Ceramic Hot Plate Stirrer Velp Scientifica

Product Description

The AREC 4 Digital is a compact and powerful hot plate stirrer featuring a 4-inch square ceramic plate, designed to deliver excellent performance in temperature-sensitive laboratory applications. With a maximum plate temperature of 550 °C, it ensures fast heating and superior chemical resistance for a wide range of laboratory workflows.

For precise sample thermoregulation, the AREC 4 Digital can be connected to Pt100, Pt1000 probes, or the VTF Digital thermoregulator. Using Pt100/Pt1000 probes, the instrument provides medium heating control up to 350 °C with ±1.0 °C accuracy. With the VTF Digital, it enables precise medium thermoregulation up to 300 °C with an outstanding accuracy of ±0.5 °C.

Compact yet versatile, the AREC 4 Digital is the ideal solution for laboratories requiring accuracy, safety, and durability in a small footprint.
