Heating Mantle
A heating mantle is a lab apparatus designed for uniform and precise heating of glassware. It consists of an insulated outer shell with an integrated heating element, fitting snugly around glass containers like flasks or beakers. When connected to a power source, it evenly distributes heat, ensuring controlled temperature conditions for applications like distillation, reflux, and evaporation in chemistry and biology labs. Heating mantles offer efficient, consistent heating, reducing the risk of hotspots and ensuring accurate and reproducible reactions, making them crucial for various laboratory processes.
