Read on to find out how and why our dishes, glazed inside and why we chose this type over borosilicate glass. Our porcelain options are better than shallow glass evaporating dishes or watch glasses because of the material.

Looking for an evaporating dish to create concentrated solutions and test the dissolved substance and residue? Look no further.

Materials and Construction

Our dishes are made from top grade porcelain that can withstand temperatures better than borosilicate glass or watch glasses. With heat resistance, chemical inertness and durability our evaporating dish will last long without compromising performance.

Flat bottom design for stability, shallow evaporating basin for quick evaporation. This design ensures consistent quality and precise results, our dishes are must haves in your lab kit.

Plus the dishes are glazed everywhere except the outside bottom and the rim. The glaze prevents corrosion from acids and solvents so the dishes are good to use no matter what you’re testing.

Chemical and Heat Resistant

Certified MTP’s evaporating dishes are designed to withstand higher temperatures encountered during the evaporation process. Porcelain can withstand temperatures of 650˚C (1200˚F) to 1090˚C (2000˚F) without melting or cracking. Consider using the Despatch LBB 2-27 Standard Electric Oven for controlled heating environments. So you can do high temperature work with a bunsen burner or hot plate without worrying that the evaporating dish will crack or warp.

These dishes can also be heated in an oven to produce concentrated solutions by evaporating excess solvent.

You may also want to use harsh solvents when evaporating liquids and porcelain is resistant to most common chemicals like bleach and ammonia. With the glaze our dishes are durable and corrosion resistant. No matter the concentrated solution you’re using you can trust our dishes.

Design for Testing

When you’re done the pouring spout is handy for [removing supernatant liquid] easy sample transfer whether you’re handling a solid precipitate or removing supernatant liquid. Consider using a stainless steel scoop with handle, 52 oz. for durable material handling in lab or industrial settings.

Testing Enhanced

With a Certified MTP evaporating dish your samples are protected as non-reactive porcelain keeps them intact. Minimal interaction or contamination during the evaporation process ensures accurate and reliable materials testing. Along with dishes, Certified MTP also offers Digital Pocket Thermometers for precise temperature measurement. These dishes allow for weighing of the evaporated substance by weighing the dish before and after.

Types and Materials

Evaporating dishes come in various types and materials to suit different laboratory needs and applications. Porcelain evaporating dishes are popular because of high temperature resistance and glazed surface that prevents spillage and easy to clean. Most dishes are made of porcelain or borosilicate glass, porcelain is more resistant to thermal shock and can withstand higher temperatures.

Watch glasses, another type of evaporating dish, are used to cover beakers and prevent condensation from escaping. These are made of borosilicate glass or porcelain. Evaporation in these dishes produces a concentrated solution or a solid precipitate of the dissolved substance making them essential in chemistry and laboratory work.

For high temperature work evaporating dishes made of platinum or other refractory metals are used as they can withstand extreme temperatures without deforming or reacting with the substance being evaporated. The pouring spout in evaporating dishes allows for easy sample transfer, reduces the risk of spillage and contamination, while the flat bottom allows for stable heating and minimizes the risk of the dish tipping over.

The capacity of dishes vary, most are from 40ml to 3000ml. The choice of dish depends on the application and the amount of substance being evaporated. Our evaporating dishes are designed for efficient evaporation. Wide mouth opening for quick evaporation. Shallow bowl for concentration. Porcelain evaporating dish is ideal for high temperature use if you want to speed up evaporation.

The design of these also facilitates evaporation of excess solvent during processes like concentration of solutions or precipitate production. Porcelain evaporating dishes are used for crystallization and evaporation processes as they can withstand high temperatures and easy to clean. Borosilicate glass dishes are preferred for transparency and thermal shock resistance.

The materials used to make dishes are carefully selected to withstand the high temperatures and corrosive substances involved in the evaporation process. That’s why they are a must have equipment in laboratories and other testing environments. The shape and design of dishes including the spout and flat bottom are designed for easy handling, minimal spillage and efficient evaporation making them an essential tool in chemistry and laboratory applications.The use of dishes in various sizes and materials gives laboratory flexibility and versatility. This allows scientists to perform various experiments and analysis from crystallization and evaporation to mixing and stirring of chemicals and substances. The safety features of dishes such as high temperature resistance and stable design reduces the risk of accidents and injuries in the laboratory making them a valuable asset in scientific research and experimentation.

Analysis of substances using dishes requires attention to detail including the selection of the right dish material and size and control of temperature and other environmental factors to get accurate and reliable results. The customer’s specific needs and requirements are considered when selecting dishes, temperature resistance, chemical compatibility and ease of use are carefully considered to get the best possible outcome in laboratory applications.

The weight and dimensions of dishes including diameter and capacity are carefully measured and recorded to ensure accuracy and precision in laboratory procedures. This allows easy identification and selection of the right dish for the application. The performance of dishes is critical in laboratory applications and their high temperature resistance, spill proof and efficient evaporation makes them an essential tool in scientific research and experimentation.

Maintenance and care of dishes is important to ensure their longevity and performance. Regular cleaning and inspection are necessary to prevent contamination and damage and to maintain accuracy and reliability of laboratory results.

FAQs

1. Can I use for qualitative and quantitative analysis?

Yes! Evaporating dishes are versatile tools suitable for various materials testing processes including both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Whether you’re assessing supernatant liquids in a qualitative analysis of chemical reactions or performing a quantitative analysis of the dissolved solids in a sample our dishes are the perfect versatile tool. Just make sure to weigh the dishes before and after evaporation to get the weight of the substance. All our dishes are reusable if you take care of them. After each use, rinse with water or appropriate detergents to remove residues including any precipitate of the dissolved liquid. Do not use harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners during rinsing and stay within the recommended temperature range. That way you can use your dish for years to come.

3. How do I choose the right size of evaporating dish?

We have evaporating dishes in many sizes 75ml, 100ml, 250ml and more. The right size for you depends on the volume of solution you are working with so make sure to consider your requirements when choosing. The volume should fit comfortably in the dish.

4. Can I heat the evaporating dish on a hot plate?

Yes, our porcelain evaporating dishes can withstand temperatures so you can heat them on hot plates or over bunsen burners. Porcelain is better than watch glass which has a much smaller temperature range. But always follow heating protocols and avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
