The StemAids Ball Heater Adapter Block is a laboratory heating accessory designed to convert a compatible heating magnetic stirrer into a practical heating mantle-style setup for round-bottom flasks. It provides stable flask support during controlled heating, chemical reactions, solvent warming, sample preparation, and academic laboratory experiments.
Product Description
The StemAids Ball Heater Adapter Block is made for laboratories that require controlled heating of round-bottom flasks without using a separate heating mantle. The adapter block sits on a suitable hotplate or heating magnetic stirrer and supports the flask securely during heating operations.
Its aluminium construction helps provide efficient heat transfer, while the shaped cavity supports round-bottom flasks in a stable position. It is suitable for chemistry laboratories, research laboratories, pharmaceutical testing labs, school and college labs, and quality-control environments.
