Turn your existing 6" x 6" hot plate into a heating mantle

• The safest way to heat round-bottom flasks
• Flexible modular system for a wide range of sizes up to 500 mL
• Low-well design is perfect for multi-neck flasks

Designed to heat round-bottom flasks, the heating block system with interchangeable inserts can be used with various Cole-Parmer hot plates and hot plate stirrers with a 6" x 6" top plate. The heating block system offers two sizes of base plates (small and medium) which can accommodate up to three block inserts each. A third larger base plate features heat-resistant handles and accepts a single block insert for flasks up to 500 mL. Convenient starter kits feature a base plate with a selection of heating block inserts in various sizes. Chemical- and solvent-resistant anodized block inserts provide a safe method for the synthesis of single or multiple reactions and offer equal or better heating performance than silicon oil. The low well provides excellent temperature transfer without compromising the view of the reaction or risk of cracking the glassware. Each base plate features a hole to house a temperature controller probe.
