Our Laboratory Hotplates Are Versatile and Offer a Wide Range of Applications!
Laboratory hotplates are essential lab equipment used in a variety of fields. In chemistry and biology, they are utilized to achieve precise temperatures. However, they are also indispensable in research, industry, university institutes, and manufacturing facilities. Hotplates are professional heating devices in temperature control technology, designed to heat various laboratory containers such as heating baths, Erlenmeyer flasks, beakers, distillation flasks, or round-bottom flasks.
Our high-quality laboratory hotplates from renowned manufacturers such as IKA, Ohaus, Heidolph, Velp, LLG, and others are robust temperature control devices for laboratory applications. They are made from high-quality materials resistant to chemicals and temperature fluctuations and are designed for safe continuous operation in all types of laboratories.
How to Find the Perfect Laboratory Hotplate for Your Application
Choosing the right hotplate for your application is crucial to achieving accurate and reliable results. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a laboratory hotplate:
- Surface Material: The surface material of the hotplate can affect its performance and suitability for certain applications. Consider the properties of materials like ceramic, aluminum, or stainless steel, and choose the one that best meets your requirements.
- Size and Capacity: This is a critical factor in laboratory applications. Select a hotplate that fits your needs and ensures safe and reliable heating of all your samples.
Safety is a top priority when using a hotplate or hotplate stirrer in the laboratory. Be sure to consult with your Avantor expert about your requirements before making a purchase!
Choose a hotplate that can withstand frequent use and exposure to aggressive chemicals. Pay attention to the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure long-term reliability and support.
Select a hotplate that meets your laboratory requirements, is safe to use, easy to operate, and durable. Additionally, read reviews and seek recommendations from other users to make an informed decision.
What Are Laboratory Hotplates Used For?
Hotplates are true all-rounders! They are used to heat substances in containers such as beakers, flasks, or test tubes. The heated substances are then used for various applications, including chemical synthesis and sample preparation. But hotplates can do even more! They help evaporate solvents, melt solids, and maintain the temperature of a reaction or process.
If you need to evaporate solvents in a solution, be sure to contact your Häberle expert for guidance!
Hotplates for chemicals are widely used in scientific research in fields such as biology, chemistry, and materials science.
- In biology, hotplates are essential! They are commonly used for cell cultivation, sterilizing equipment, and preparing samples for analysis.
- In chemistry, hotplates are indispensable for chemical synthesis, substance purification, and carrying out chemical reactions.
- In materials science, hotplates play a crucial role! They are used for material processing and testing, such as melting metals for casting or heating ceramics to high temperatures.
Beyond research, hotplates are also valuable in various industrial sectors. They are used for melting or heating materials, drying and curing coatings, and preheating components for manufacturing. Additionally, hotplates are used for product quality control and testing.
Laboratory hotplates are essential for many scientific and industrial applications. Their versatility and precise temperature control make them an invaluable tool in any laboratory or production facility.
Three Types of Hotplate Surfaces
There are three main types of surfaces used for laboratory hotplates: ceramic, aluminum, and stainless steel. Each surface has its unique properties and is best suited for specific applications.
Ceramic Hotplates
Ceramic surfaces are a highly popular choice for laboratory hotplates due to their excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and uniform heating.
- They reach high temperatures quickly, making them ideal for evaporating solvents or boiling low-boiling-point liquids. However, this also poses a slight risk, as solvents may splash, which can be hazardous.
- Solution: Use appropriate lab equipment such as a heating mantle or reflux system when heating low-boiling-point samples or evaporating solvents. Alternatively, use a high-quality ceramic hotplate with a precise temperature controller to prevent overheating.
Aluminum Hotplates
Aluminum hotplates are a great, cost-effective alternative to ceramic hotplates.
- They are lightweight and have excellent thermal conductivity, making them perfect for applications that require rapid heating or cooling.
- Easy to clean – their smooth surface allows for quick and simple maintenance.
Stainless Steel Hotplates
Stainless steel surfaces are extremely durable and corrosion-resistant.
- Perfect for harsh lab environments, as they are easy to clean and maintain.
- Ideal for high-temperature applications that require uniform heating and long-lasting performance.
Round vs. Square Hotplates
Round and square hotplates are both useful laboratory heating devices, each suited for specific applications. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the right shape:
Expert Consultation for the Right Choice
Selecting the ideal laboratory hot plate requires careful consideration of factors such as the type of vessels used, heating capacity, material compatibility, and precision control. Whether you need a round or square heating plate, ceramic or aluminum surfaces, or advanced temperature regulation, choosing the right model ensures safety, efficiency, and accurate results in your laboratory processes.
