MRC Labs HOP-GRFT Series Graphite Blocks

Product Description

The MRC HOP-GRFT Series Graphite Blocks are designed for use with the HOP-3622-GRFT and HOP-4632-GRFT graphite hotplates. These hotplate blocks are solid graphite for superb chemical inertness and thermal conductivity. This makes the HOP-GRFT series an excellent choice for high temperature processes with reactive chemicals and environments.

Applications

 Ideal for research, QC, education and industrial processing and testing in challenging materials and environments:  

• Acid/base catalyzed reactions, 

• Oxidation/reduction reactions,

• Decomposition of organic or inorganic compounds,

• Reactions under reflux, often with flammable or reactive solvents (e.g., ethanol, toluene)

• Heat water, oil, or sand baths that provide uniform temperature environments for sensitive or highly exothermic reactions.

• Cure polymers or anneal thin films in the presence of reactive gases or chemicals, 

• Development of Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) stained plates involving reactive stain chemicals that may become reactive upon heating. 

Features

• Solid graphite prevents contamination making them ideal for Trace Material and Ultra-Trace Metal Analysis, 

• Graphite is highly resistant to aggressive chemical attack.

• Enhanced heating uniformity through use of isostatic graphite, providing high density and great thermal conductivity, for excellent homogeneity among all samples.

• Selection of blocks adapts hotplates for tubes and digestion vessels.
