If you thought that the gas Bunsen burner was the only piece of laboratory equipment that was irreplaceable and unchangeable you might like to reconsider.
The BA6101 Electric Bunsen from Electrothermal is the modern laboratory Bunsen burner.
It has all the advantages of a traditional gas Bunsen burner but being electric it is clean and easy-to-operate.
The electromantle, the conical shaped heating element, directs the heat upwards to a focal point, just like a gas burner, and so it is ideal for heating beakers, test tubes, crucible and small flasks of every shape.
However, the vented housing produces a cool-to-the touch base, which can even be held during operation.
The BA6101 Electric Bunsen is designed for use with the MC5 controller.
This is the elegant answer for controlling the heating of resistive loads such as Electric Bunsens, Electromantles, Heating Tapes and Cords.
A rod support clamp is provided at the rear of the controller to take a standard 12.5mm diameter rod for bench top operation delivering up to a maximum of 800 Watts.
If you need to operate it in a fume cupboard or similar, an accessory extension mains lead is available.
The Electric Bunsen only consumes 400W of power and this makes it the ideal appliance for any number of circumstances, not just where a gas supply is unavailable.
The BA6101 Electric Bunsen from Electrothermal, corrosion-resistant and with one-year warranty for parts and labour, is really the answer for heating in today’s laboratory.
