The Heat-On range, available from Radleys, is a heating and stirring work station designed to accept standard round-bottom flasks from 10ml to 5l.
Heat-On reduces the risks associated with the use of oil by offering a safe, cost effective alternative to heating round-bottom flasks.
For additional safety, optional lifting, handles can be attached and removed, allowing the user to remove the block from the heat source even when hot.
Manufactured from solid aluminium, Heat-On provides even heat transfer to the entire block, preventing hot spots.
The unique deep well shape has been proven to avoid sticking and cracking of flasks maximising the heating surface area further contributing to faster heat-up.
Heat-On is available with a Fluoropolymer coating that gives chemical resistance to most solvents and alkalis, and extends the product life.
A standard, lower cost, anodised finish is also available.
The weight saving design of Heat-On reduces the thermal mass of the block, making heat-up times significantly faster.
Tests have shown that Heat-On can boil a 250ml flask of water in under 11min, providing up to 66 per cent faster heat up than traditional heating blocks.
Heat-On blocks use 30 per cent less energy to achieve the same results, saving money and reducing the environmental impact of experiments.
