[labnetwork] Uniform temperature hot plates

[Kevin McPeak]

Dear Colleagues,

Our cleanroom here at LSU is in need of a high-temperature hot plate
(~400 C) with excellent uniformity across the surface, e.g. +/- 5 C.
The manufacturers we are currently considering are:

- MTIxtl EQ-HP-1515-LD  https://www.mtixtl.com/EQ-HP-1515.aspx
- Wenesco - https://www.wenesco.com/wenesco-hot-plates
- Harry Gestigkeit -
http://www.gestigkeit.de/126/precision-hotplates-products-english/precision-hotplate-4500c

Any input on the above makes/models or other systems to look at is
most appreciated. Price is an issue here. All of these are in the
$1500 - $2500 range, so if there is a less expensive option out there
I would love to learn about it. Thank you.

Regards,
Kevin
