The Corning hot plate has a temperature range of ambient to 550 degrees C, a white glass-ceramic top plate, and an LED readout. The white glass-ceramic top plate (Pyroceram) provides fast heating and resistance to chemicals and scratches. It has an LED readout to display temperature settings. Its temperature control knob adjusts temperature in 5-degree increments. For safety, a hot top light indicates when the unit is over 60 degrees C, even when the power is off. It can hold a support rod (sold separately) for holding an external temperature controller (sold separately). This 100V hot plate comes with a standard US three-prong plug for use in Japan and areas with similar electrical requirements. It is used to heat glassware and liquid solutions for scientific applications.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Laboratory hot plates are electric or gas-fired benchtop appliances that are used to heat glassware or its liquid or solid contents. Stirring hot plates can stir a liquid solution by means of a stir bar that is spun magnetically inside the vessel holding the solution. Hot plates are commonly used in scientific research, clinics, and classrooms.

Corning manufactures consumable glass, ceramics, and plastic laboratory tools under the brands Corning, Costar, Cellgro, Pyrex, Axygen, Gosselin, and Lambda, among others. The company, founded in 1908, is headquartered in New York, NY.
