Laboratory hotplates provide safe, controlled and repeatable heat for a wide range of tasks, from warming solutions and evaporating solvents to sample preparation, digestion and general benchtop heating. With no open flame required, they offer a cleaner and safer alternative to Bunsen burners while giving you accurate, adjustable temperature control across the working surface. This makes them a versatile fixture on almost any laboratory bench.
Hurst Scientific supplies quality digital hotplates suited to research, analytical, education and industrial laboratories throughout Australia. Featuring clear digital displays and precise temperature setting, our hotplates make it easy to reach and hold your target temperature, so you can achieve consistent results while keeping your workspace clean, efficient and safe to operate. Even heat distribution across the plate helps protect samples from hot spots and supports reliable, repeatable outcomes.
The HP380-Pro hotplate offers an LCD digital display with temperature control up to 380 degrees Celsius across a durable 140mm square plate, making it a versatile, cost effective choice for everyday heating tasks. Its compact footprint suits busy benches while still delivering even, reliable heat distribution, and the digital readout takes the guesswork out of setting and monitoring temperature.
For higher temperature work, the HP550-S features a glass ceramic coated plate and an LED digital display with temperature control up to 550 degrees Celsius on a larger 184mm square surface. The chemically resistant ceramic coating is easy to clean and wipe down between uses, resists spills and stands up to demanding daily operation. With its higher ceiling and larger heating area, it is well suited to more intensive heating, evaporation and sample preparation applications where extra performance and capacity are required.
