Laboratory Hot Plate (Round/Rectangular) in Kolkata

Overview
Features & Services

A Laboratory Hot Plate is a commonly used heating device designed to provide controlled, uniform heating for laboratory experiments and procedures. It serves as a substitute for open flames, reducing risks of accidents and contamination. Hot plates are available in round and rectangular models, chosen based on the type of glassware, sample size, or heating requirement.

Round Hot Plate: Typically used for flasks, beakers, or round-bottomed vessels. It ensures even distribution of heat across the circular surface.
Rectangular Hot Plate: Offers a larger flat surface, suitable for multiple vessels, large containers, or experiments requiring simultaneous heating of different samples.

They are usually made with stainless steel, aluminium, or ceramic-coated tops for high thermal resistance, chemical durability, and easy cleaning. Temperature control may be manual (knobs) or digital (thermostatic/programmable) depending on the model.

Design Options	Available in round and rectangular models to suit different vessels and applications.
	Compact, bench-top design for ease of use in laboratories.
Heating Surface	Made from stainless steel, aluminium alloy, or ceramic-coated plates for durability, uniform heating, and chemical resistance.
