Microbiology Media Preparation

The Heating Plate (DHP4-550) is a compact, precision benchtop heating instrument engineered for accurate, safe, and reproducible heating of clinical samples, reagents, biological specimens, and laboratory solutions in clinical diagnostics, molecular biology, microbiology, and pharmaceutical research. Featuring a 4-inch (100×100 mm) glass ceramic work plate that resists strong acids, strong alkalis, and high temperatures, this hot plate provides a temperature range from room temperature up to 550°C with ±1°C temperature control accuracy and 1°C setting increments.

Every Heating Plate (DHP4-550) is equipped with an integrated LCD display that simultaneously shows set temperature and real-time temperature, a programmable timer from 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes that automatically stops heating on completion, and a safety lock to prevent accidental changes to operating status. The PT1000 external temperature sensor port (±0.2°C accuracy, sensor sold separately) enables precise temperature control of the liquid or vessel surface rather than just the work plate for sensitive applications.

Key safety features include dual independent safety circuits that continuously monitor sensor status, temperature, and electrical conditions; user-adjustable maximum safety temperature to prevent overheating; and automatic shutdown with buzzer and error message if sensor failure, over-temperature, or electrical fault is detected. The corrosion-resistant all-metal housing provides good heat dissipation and fire protection, while the raised waterproof edge and drainage platform prevent liquid spills from entering internal electronics.

The Heating Plate (DHP4-550) is constructed with a glass ceramic work plate that withstands strong acids, strong alkalis, and temperatures up to 550°C without degradation. The all-metal chassis is also corrosion-resistant, and the non-slip rubber feet ensure stability during operation.

For the clinical laboratory scientist, clinical chemistry technologist, and microbiology specialist, the Heating Plate (DHP4-550) delivers the precise, safe, and reproducible heating required for clinical sample digestion, immunoassay incubation, microbiological media preparation, protein denaturation, and DNA denaturation workflows. For the patient, accurate and consistent sample preparation using precisely controlled heating ensures that downstream diagnostic test results are reliable and reproducible, directly supporting effective clinical decision-making and appropriate patient care.
