Electrothermal MG7802 100mL Heating Mantle 110/120V 60W 450°C Round Bottom Flask

Electrothermal MG7802 100mL Heating Mantle 110/120V 60W 450°C Round Bottom Flask

The Electrothermal MG7802 is a 100mL electrothermal heating mantle designed for laboratory use with round bottom and flat bottom flasks. The mantle uses a flexible knitted mesh element that conforms closely to the contour of the flask, providing even, distributed heat transfer. It is a lightweight, benchtop unit that plugs directly into a standard 110/120V outlet. Electrothermal is a UK-based manufacturer of laboratory heating equipment with a long history of supplying chemistry and science labs.

Applications

Electrothermal heating mantles are standard equipment in chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical laboratories for heating reactions in round bottom flasks — the most common flask type used in distillation, reflux, synthesis, and solvent evaporation setups. Unlike open-flame heating or flat-surface hot plates, a heating mantle cradles the flask and distributes heat uniformly around the lower hemisphere, reducing the risk of localized overheating and improving temperature uniformity across the contents. At 100mL capacity, the MG7802 is suited for small-scale reactions and is a common size for undergraduate and research bench work. These mantles are typically paired with a variable transformer (Variac) or a dedicated mantle controller to regulate temperature; they do not have built-in temperature control. Electrothermal heating mantles of this pattern have been a laboratory staple since the mid-20th century and remain in active everyday use in labs worldwide.
