The H3770-H is the Benchmark Digital Hotplate, Benchmark Scientific's smaller-format digital hotplate at $364. $364.00 cheaper than the larger 10 × 10" H3710-H ($634), entry-tier digital hotplate for bench-space-constrained / cost-optimized workflows. Universal-input chassis (120 V or 230 V, 500 W). Pairs with H3770-CS clamp assembly ($108) and H3770-CSTF teflon-probe clamp ($364.00) for temperature-probe workflows.
SAFETY FLAG (caution): High-temperature surface burn hazard, same as the H3710 hotplate family. Operator PPE / bench-clearance / heat-resistant vessels required.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): class flag: Universe consumable is incorrect for a capital hotplate; flagging FQ-class. No specific brochure in available corpus. Confirm exact surface dimensions, temperature range, ramp time, and surface material (typical ceramic-coated or aluminum) with Benchmark Scientific tech support.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

When to Pick the H3770 vs H3710
| Feature | H3770-H (this product) | H3710-H |
| Surface size | Smaller | 10 × 10" |
| Power | 500 W | 500 W |
| List price | $364 | $634 |
| Cost difference | N/A | +$364.00 |
| Best for | Bench-space-constrained / cost-optimized | Standard-format bench workflow |
Pick the H3770-H when:
- Bench-space-constrained labs. Smaller footprint fits where 10 × 10" doesn't
- Educational / undergraduate teaching workflow at scaled-down throughput
- Cost-optimized procurement. $364.00 saving vs H3710-H
- Smaller-vessel workflows. Sample heating in smaller flasks / beakers / tubes
Step up to H3770-HS Hotplate Stirrer ($531) for integrated magnetic stirring at the same compact format.
Step up to H3710-H ($634) for standard 10 × 10" format at larger surface area.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the H3770-H compare to the H3710-H hotplate? The H3770-H is the smaller-format, cost-optimized model at $364, $364.00 less than the larger 10 × 10" H3710-H ($634).
What voltage and power does the H3770-H use? A universal-input chassis rated for 120 V or 230 V at 50–60 Hz, 500 W.
What accessories pair with the H3770-H? The H3770-CS clamp + rod assembly ($108) and the H3770-CSTF teflon-probe clamp ($364.00) for temperature-probe workflows.
Is there a version with a stirrer? Yes. The H3770-HS Hotplate Stirrer ($531) adds integrated magnetic stirring in the same compact format.
Is there a burn hazard? Yes. The H3770-H carries a caution safety flag for high-temperature surface burn hazard; operator PPE, bench clearance, and heat-resistant vessels are required.
Ordering & Configuration
Plan accessory pairing. H3770-CS clamp + rod ($108) for thermometer mounting, H3770-CSTF teflon-probe clamp ($364.00) for chemically-resistant probe mounting in caustic-sample workflows.
Plan operator PPE + bench clearance. Same as larger H3710 hotplate family.
