HPX Series Inert Hotplate
Brochures and specifications | 2019 | SavillexInstrumentation
Ultratrace analysis in fields such as geochemistry and semiconductor manufacturing demands sample preparation tools that introduce minimal background contamination. Inert hotplates with metal-free surfaces enable safe digestion and evaporation of trace metal samples under cleanroom conditions.
The Savillex HPX Series datasheet details the development and features of two inert hotplate models (HPX-100 and HPX-200) optimized for ultratrace applications. Key goals include superior temperature uniformity, chemical inertness, user safety, and serviceability.
The design relies on ISO-molded, low-porosity graphite substrates sealed with Chemours Teflon PFA to eliminate metal contributions. Both models employ multiple embedded heater cartridges (three in the HPX-100, four in the HPX-200) and a digital PID controller with programmable timer and user calibration for compliant environments.
Performance testing demonstrates temperature uniformity within ±2°C at 150°C. Depending on the model and power configuration, the hotplates can reach up to 240°C. TÜV SÜD America certification confirms CE and RoHS compliance. Modular heater cartridges and detachable controllers simplify maintenance and minimize downtime.
The HPX Series delivers:
Emerging developments may include integration with laboratory automation and remote monitoring, miniaturized formats for micro-scale sample handling, and advanced sensor networks to further reduce contamination and enhance process control.
The Savillex HPX Series inert hotplates combine high-purity materials, precise temperature control, robust safety mechanisms, and user-friendly serviceability to meet the rigorous demands of ultratrace analytical workflows.
