Laboratory Digital Rectangular Hot Plate (Product Code: SLE/LHP/05) combines a large rectangular cast iron plate with a PID controller that reads an external temperature probe, so it controls the temperature of the liquid being heated rather than just the plate. It comes with the probe, support rods and clamps, and its heavy duty element can bring the top surface up to 350°C. Chemistry, pharmacy and food science labs that need controlled batch heating in several vessels treat it as one of the core laboratory instruments India colleges and QC units keep on the bench. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

The external probe is what sets this plate apart. Clamp it on the support rod, dip its tip into the solution in one of the vessels, and the PID controller adjusts heating until that liquid sits at the set value. This is the arrangement to use for holding a reaction or extraction at a fixed temperature, warming media or buffers to a defined point, or running a dissolution or solubility practical where students record results at a stated temperature.
Departments comparing chemistry lab instruments supplier options often choose the size by the number of vessels: the smallest plate suits a single analyst, while the largest serves a group bench. Keep the probe tip fully immersed and away from the vessel wall, place it in a vessel that is representative of the batch, and wipe and dry the probe after use so residue does not affect later readings.
ScienceLab products, this digital hot plate among them, are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited from its base in Ambala, Haryana. Our company profile gives an overview of the company and its range.

What is included with the hot plate?
The plate is supplied with an external temperature probe, support rods and clamps for holding the probe in position.
Does the controller regulate the plate or the liquid?
The PID controller provides precise temperature regulation of the external probe, so it controls the temperature wherever the probe is placed — normally in the liquid.
Which sizes and ratings can I order?
Sizes are 30 x 25 cm (12 x 10"), 40 x 25 cm (16 x 10") and 45 x 30 cm (18 x 12"), with ratings of 1.2 kW and 1.6 kW. Ask us which rating applies to the size you prefer.
Can I use it without the probe?
The controller is designed around the external probe for its regulation. Please check with us through the contact page how the unit behaves if you plan to heat without the probe connected.
How often should the probe reading be checked?
Compare it against a reference thermometer at the temperatures you use, for example at the start of each term or before critical work. Calibration certificate availability can be discussed with us.
