General Information
Corning® Hotware has been a laboratory standard for over 30 years. Our
products have been engineered with customer input to be more reliable,
precise, easier to use and safer.
Look for the features listed below:
Exclusive microprocessor design provides superb control for both heating
and stirring to insure consistent performance.
Enclosed control electronics protect sensitive components from harsh envi-
ronments and reduce maintenance time and costs.
Exclusive Pyroceram® top is easy to clean, highly resistant to scratches,
corrosion and chemical attack, flatter to provide faster, more uniform heating
and whiter to provide better contrast during applications which require
monitoring of color changes.
Rigorous testing standards for electrical safety, EMI (Electro Magnetic Inter-
ference) and regulatory approvals. Corning hotware meets UL (USA), CUL
(Canada and Mexico), IEC1010 and CE (Europe), GS (Germany) and FCC
regulations where appropriate.
All units show international symbols for power, heat, stir and hot top.
