Laboratories involved with wet chemistry will typically require heating plates to facilitate the dissolving or mixing of chemicals. In fact, quite often, high temperature hot plates are necessary for those hard to blend compounds.

Along with the elevated temperatures comes the requirement for accurate control as many reactions occur only at specified temperatures so precision is very important. When using a high temperature hot plate, the risk of boiling over is always present so care must be taken to avoid burns and heating plates should be shielded whenever possible to protect the researcher. Stainless steel and porcelain tops are often the preferred surfaces for ease of cleaning and durability. Both are offered by New Star environmental.
