The General Laboratory Heating category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately.
Temperature uniformity, recovery and control stability influence reaction rates, storage integrity and the reproducibility of many laboratory methods. The practical choice therefore depends on pump flow or air circulation, controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
A complete temperature-control setup matches the load and vessel to the working range, heating or cooling capacity, circulation, monitoring and safety requirements. The same principle applies across research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food, materials and industrial laboratories: control the inputs, use compatible equipment and document the conditions that can influence the result. As part of the Laboratory Heating and Cooling Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our General Laboratory Heating range
Our collection covers the main product groups used to heat, cool, incubate, freeze or stabilise samples and processes at defined temperatures, from drying through to tripods & gauze mats.
Laboratory Drying Equipment
The Laboratory Drying Equipment range covers equipment and consumables used to contain, transfer, mix, protect, label and store samples and reagents throughout everyday laboratory work. While powerful, the adjustable nature of these tools allows for lower temperature settings, though extremely sensitive samples may require specialised drying ovens or desiccators.
Laboratory Beaker & Crucible Tongs
Our Laboratory Beaker & Crucible Tongs typically feature wider, often coated or lined jaws to cradle large glass cylinders, while crucible tongs are designed with tapered tips to grip smaller ceramic crucibles securely.
Laboratory Bunsen Burners
The Laboratory Bunsen Burners range covers equipment and consumables used to contain, transfer, mix, protect, label and store samples and reagents throughout everyday laboratory work. While both use gas, a Teclu burner typically has a wider base and a more sophisticated air-mixing valve, allowing for a hotter and more stable flame than a standard Bunsen burner.
Laboratory Tripods & Gauze Mats
The Laboratory Tripods & Gauze Mats range covers equipment and consumables used to contain, transfer, mix, protect, label and store samples and reagents throughout everyday laboratory work. Start with the application and sample, then compare closure or connection, temperature and chemical compatibility, sterility or cleanliness, and material.
Featured brands
DWK Life Sciences is known for laboratory glassware, bottles and precision handling products, BRAND is known for liquid-handling products, volumetric labware and supporting accessories, LLG Labware is known for practical laboratory consumables, accessories and routine bench supplies, and JULABO is known for circulators, water baths and precise liquid temperature control.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between a Bunsen and a Teclu burner?
Standard Bunsen burners from ISOLAB are ideal for general heating, while Teclu burners from Aug. Hülden feature a conical base that allows for finer air-to-gas adjustment, producing a hotter, more concentrated flame. Laboratories should compare controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Are tripods from ISOLAB compatible with large wire gauzes?
ISOLAB tripods are designed with standardized ring diameters to securely support wire gauzes and ceramic triangles, providing a stable platform for beakers and flasks during prolonged heating. The final choice should reflect controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
Why are Bochem tongs preferred for high-heat applications?
Bochem beaker tongs are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel and often feature ceramic or cork-lined jaws, providing a secure, heat-resistant grip that prevents slipping when handling hot glassware. The final choice should reflect controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
What are the benefits of HORO drying systems?
HORO specialize in high-precision drying solutions that offer superior air circulation and temperature uniformity, which is critical for sensitive analytical drying where localized hot spots must be avoided. For heating, also check controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity so the product fits the complete procedure.
How do I choose the right heating for my laboratory?
Review controller and logging options, working temperature range, heating or cooling capacity, and chamber or bath volume, together with expected workload and cleaning or maintenance requirements. A suitable product should fit the full method, not only the immediate task. For heating, also check controller and logging options, working temperature range, and heating or cooling capacity so the product fits the complete procedure.
