Retorts Retorts are made of borosilicate glass with a ground glass stopper. This apparatus was originally developed by alchemists to performs simple distillation procedures and is a classic piece of laboratory glassware.
Retort Sets include retort, stand and clamps for safely supporting your retort over a heat source.
Ceramic Top Hot Plate NEW! Designed for laboratory use, this is a variable heat control, ceramic top heater. The heat is generated from resistant coils recessed into the ceramic top. It also comes with a removable ceramic top plate especially designed for round bottom flasks. Features:
Effective temperatures are from ambient to 600° F
Hot plate measures 6 x 6"
The open area in the removable ceramic top plate measures 3.75" diameter
500 Watts

From our in-house testing, we have found this versatile hot plate to be a good low-price alternative for those who do not wish to invest in a $250 Heating Mantle. Using the round-bottom ceramic adaptor, we brought 500ml of water to a boil in 14 minutes for a simple distillation procedure. A 5" support ring was able to securely support this compact and efficient heater. AP05$49.95
