The CC Pilot controller’s bright, clear, LCD colour screen displays internal, process and set point temperatures in large format enabling easy viewing from across your lab, with the option of a real time graphical display. Safety information such as over- temperature setting, set point limits, bath level indicator, alarms and pump pressure/speed can be displayed simultaneously.


Grip Mitt Gives a Nod to Fashion


Solutions in test tubes aren't the only things changing colour in labs these days. Hot Hand®


Products is now available in two new vibrant colours; lime green and sky blue. Used for handling objects such as beakers, flasks, and bottles at extreme hot or cold temperatures the Hot Hand®


Protector was originally introduced in red, a colour that will continue to be offered.


While one might not think of their lab tools as fashion accessories, Bel- Art Product Manager Robert N. Petersen said: "Colour preferences are very individual. It's great when we can take a practical item like a heat protective mitt and infuse it with some fashion sensibility. The bright colours also make it easy to spot in the lab."


The Hot Hand®


Protector is one size, 10cmW x 19cmH (3 7/8"W x 7 ½"H) with a 'quick fit' pocket at each end - one for the thumb and one for the other fingers. Concaved tipped studs on the surface provide a secure grip. Made of silicone rubber, the Hot Hand®


Protector can


withstand temperatures as high as 260°C (500°F) and remains flexible at temperatures as low as -57°C (-70°F) which as Petersen added: "Makes it ideal for common lab needs like removing items from an autoclave or handling dry ice."


Manufacturer's suggested price for the Hot Hand® green or sky blue is $21.25.

All Ministat units feature a powerful variable speed pressure/suction pump that can heat or cool objects either in the internal bath or externally, such as reaction vessels or block. The small bath volume and high power means exceptionally rapid heating and cooling rates are achieved. Optional displacement inserts reduce the bath volume by approximately 50% amplifying this effect. All models have ‘Active Cooling Control’ which allows cooling even at the maximum working temperature.
