Radleys | Reflux without oil – Heat-On: the sustainable laboratory heating block

 

Heat-On Block System - the safer chemistry lab alternative to oil baths and electric heating mantles.

Just place on top of a stirrer hotplate and safely heat up your reaction mixture oil-free.

Features:
• Replace messy oil baths, heating mantles and avoid spills, burns and oil fire risks.
• Make your chemistry safer, cleaner and faster.
• Solid aluminium blocks provide even heating.
• Lightweight design allows rapid heating. They heat up and cool down quicker than oil baths.
• Unique well design eliminates cracking of flasks.
• Blocks feature two probe holes and optional lifting handles.
• Use up to 260˚C.
• Also accepts Florentine Flasks.

The risk of oil fires and injury from hot oil spills, plus the mess and cost associated with the purchase and disposal of oil means that oil baths no longer represent safe or sustainable working practices in labs. Heating mantles are expensive, difficult to clean, do not respond well to spills and often create hot spots when heating.
