SHI-197 Laboratory Round Heating Plate

Hot plates are frequently used in the laboratory to perform chemical reactions, to heat samples, and for numerous other activities. Hot plates are conceptually simple – a flat surface with heating elements. They do not produce open flames and are well suited for oil or sand bath use.Introduction. We recently found that heating of glycol methacrylateembedded sections on hotplate at 115-140°C before staining prevented detachment of the sections from microscope slides during staining [1].
