Hot Plate Microyn Lab Hot Plate 12×12 Aluminum 800W 320C

Description

Product Overview

The Microyn MT‑SH‑5 is a large analog hot plate designed specifically for laboratory environments where precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution are essential. Measuring 12 inches by 12 inches, the expansive aluminum heating panel provides a generous work surface that can accommodate a variety of vessels, from beakers and flasks to small reactors. The aluminum construction not only ensures rapid heat-up times but also promotes even heat spread, minimizing hot spots that could compromise experimental results. Powered by an 800‑watt, 110‑volt heating element, the unit can reach temperatures up to 320 °C, giving researchers the flexibility to perform a wide range of procedures, from gentle warming to high‑temperature syntheses. The analog control dial offers intuitive temperature adjustments, while the built‑in safety features, such as over‑temperature protection and a sturdy, heat‑resistant housing, help maintain a safe working environment. With a maximum load capacity of 20 kg, the hot plate can support heavy glassware and metal containers without strain. Its compact footprint—20 x 15 x 9 inches—and a weight of 21.65 pounds make it easy to place on benchtops or portable workstations. The MT‑SH‑5 also includes a clear, easy‑to‑read temperature indicator, allowing users to monitor the set point at a glance. Overall, this hot plate combines durability, performance, and user‑friendly design, making it a reliable addition to any scientific or industrial setting.

Usage

In a modern laboratory, the Microyn hot plate serves as a versatile tool for a multitude of applications. Chemistry researchers rely on its precise temperature control for reactions that require steady heating, such as reflux, distillation, and solvent evaporation. The large 12″ x 12″ surface accommodates multiple flasks simultaneously, enabling parallel experiments and increasing throughput. In biology labs, the hot plate is ideal for incubating samples, warming culture media, or performing enzyme assays that demand consistent temperatures. The ability to reach 320 °C also makes it suitable for material science tasks, such as polymer curing, thin‑film deposition, and thermal analysis of composites. Its robust 20 kg load capacity allows the placement of heavy crucibles and metal trays, expanding its utility beyond standard glassware. The analog control dial provides tactile feedback, which many technicians prefer for fine adjustments during sensitive procedures. Additionally, the unit’s compact dimensions fit comfortably on standard lab benches, while its sturdy construction ensures stability even in high‑traffic environments. The hot plate’s quick heat‑up and uniform distribution reduce overall experiment time, improving efficiency in busy research facilities. Whether used in academic research, quality‑control labs, or small‑scale production settings, the MT‑SH‑5 delivers reliable performance that adapts to diverse operational needs.
