RECTANGULAR TOP HOT PLATES are useful laboratory heating equipment, each type suitable for certain applications. However, here are some factors to consider when deciding the type of plate to use.
Glassware Shape - If you primarily use Rectangular-bottomed glassware, such as Rectangular-bottom flasks or test tubes, a Rectangular-top hot plate may be more convenient as it accommodates the curved shape perfectly. In contrast, if you frequently use square or rectangular glassware, such as crystallization dishes, a square top hot plate may be more suitable as the flat surface matches the glassware shape.
