Hi Debbie,

 

We use aluminum heating blocks on hot plates for all of our syntheses these days.  I had them custom made by J KEM to fit our round bottoms.  The up-front cost is a bit, but they are less than what I found for the coated ones.  You can have them made with a thermometer hole to fit a thermocouple in to better control the temp.

 

Good luck,

Good morning:

 

I need to offer some options to replace oil (silicone or mineral) with a different material for heating baths.  I’m also looking at heating block options and have a number of suppliers to review – cost may be an issue here.

 

Ideas?   The Google has failed me this morning.

 

Best,
