Hot Plate
Uniform surface heating · adjustable temperature · digestions & sample prep
Overview
The Vector VTR-13-013 Hot Plate provides uniform surface heating for everyday laboratory work — warming reagents, gentle evaporation, digestions, and sample prep on a stable bench-top plate without an open flame.
A large heated surface accepts beakers, flasks, and crucibles while adjustable temperature control keeps processes repeatable shift to shift. The VTR-13-013 suits cement and materials QC bays that need reliable heating beside balances, mills, and furnaces.
Vector configures the unit for your internal SOPs and typical cement-laboratory workflows — from routine heating to method-aligned digestion and evaporation steps.

Standards & conformity
Browse the standards library
Supports laboratory heating workflows aligned with your referenced methods and internal quality system. Supplied as CE-marked equipment with Vector support for temperature selection and safe operation guidance.
Applications
Surface heating for laboratories that need controlled warmth without flame — from cement chemistry prep to general QC.
Chemical prep
Heating solutions and suspensions before titration, filtration, or gravimetric work.
Sample drying
Low-intensity surface drying of glassware and small vessels prior to weighing or analysis.
Education & R&D
Teaching and method trials for temperature-controlled heating on the bench.
Key features
Stable plate temperature, simple operation, and a footprint suited to high-throughput materials laboratories.
Uniform surface
Even heating across the working area — multiple beakers or a single large vessel without hot spots.
Adjustable control
Set surface temperature for digestion, evaporation, or gentle warming per method.
Compact layout
Fits standard laboratory benches beside other sample-prep equipment.
Routine QC
Built for repeated daily heating cycles in commercial and plant laboratories.
Flame-free
Controlled electric heating replaces open-flame warming for many SOPs.
Laboratory equipment
CE-marked unit for industrial QC, site labs, and research.
Heating surface & operation
Vessels are placed directly on the heated plate. The control system regulates surface temperature to the selected setpoint; operators monitor heating progress and remove samples when the method endpoint is reached — digestion complete, solvent evaporated, or reagent brought to working temperature.
- Even plate temperature — repeatable conditions for routine beaker and flask work.
- Adjustable setpoint — match digestion, evaporation, or warming steps in your SOP.
- Vector support — temperature guidance and safe bench layout.
