Heating Mantle – Laboratory Heating Instrument

B-ONE Heating Mantle

A heating mantle is a laboratory equipment used to heat containers like flasks or beakers in a controlled and uniform manner. It is typically used in chemistry and biology labs for experiments requiring heat, such as distillations, reflux reactions, or extractions.

Key features of a heating mantle includes:

Even Heat Distribution: The mantle provides uniform heat around the vessel, which reduces the chances of localized overheating that can occur with direct flame heating methods.
Temperature Control: Heating mantles usually come with temperature controls, allowing users to precisely control the heat being applied.
Safety: Unlike open flames or hot plates, a heating mantle minimizes the risk of glassware breaking due to thermal shock, making it safer for use with sensitive or expensive glassware.
Encased Heating Element: The heating element in a mantle is insulated and protected, reducing the risk of accidental burns or exposure to heat sources.

Heating mantles are often shaped like hemispheres to fit round-bottom flasks snugly, B-ONE heating mantles comes in various sizes and controls such as analog and digital to accommodate different customer needs and consists of stirrer bar.
