Digital heating plate M 4060

with plate

Product overview
The M 4060 laboratory hot plate delivers precise, uniform heating for a wide range of laboratory applications. It is equipped with a digital thermostat with a working range of 50–300°C, 1°C setting increments and an operating accuracy of ±1°C. The heating surface is a 40 x 60 cm Teflon-coated sheet-aluminum plate for consistent heat distribution. The unit is housed in a sheet-steel casing finished with stoved enamel paint and is rated at 3000 W for AC 190–240V / 50–60Hz supply.

Additional information
Hot plates are used where open flames are impractical or pose safety risks. The M 4060 is suitable for sample heating, reflux setups with appropriate glassware, warming reagents and other common laboratory tasks requiring stable, controllable heat. The Teflon-coated aluminum plate supports good thermal transfer while offering chemical resistance for many laboratory applications.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the maximum temperature range for laboratory hot plates? Most laboratory hot plates, including the M 4060, reach up to 300°C depending on plate material and design.
• Are hot plates safe for chemical reactions? When used with compatible glassware and appropriate safety measures (ventilation, thermal cut-offs, correct settings), modern hot plates provide a controlled heating source suitable for many reactions.
• Can a hot plate be used with all laboratory glassware? Use only heat-resistant glassware designed for heating. Verify compatibility with the experiment’s temperature profile to avoid thermal shock.
