Questions about Watch glasses & crystallising dishes
Glass, PTFE or PP watch glass: which should I choose?
Glass is heat resistant, inert to most substances and transparent, so it suits general use and drying. PTFE is the choice for hydrofluoric acid and strong alkalis, which attack glass, and nothing sticks to it. PP is shatterproof and light, and suits covering vessels at room temperature. Check heat limits for plastics. Compare materials in watch glasses and crystallising dishes. Questions about a specific product? Contact sales@luminixhealth.com.
Which watch glass diameter fits my beaker?
Choose a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the beaker, so the watch glass rests stably on the rim and cannot slide in. Too large a glass overhangs and is easily knocked off. Check the outer diameter of the beaker on its product page to match the two. A ribbed glass leaves a gap for vapour to escape. Beakers are in beakers. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.
Crystallising dish with or without spout?
A dish with a spout lets you pour off the mother liquor cleanly after crystallisation. A dish without a spout can be covered tightly with a watch glass or plate, which limits evaporation and dust. Both types also serve well as cooling baths or as collecting dishes under a setup. Choose by whether you need to pour. A wide, shallow dish gives a large surface, so crystals form faster as the solvent evaporates. See watch glasses and crystallising dishes. Need advice for your set-up? Mail sales@luminixhealth.com.
What do I use a watch glass for in the lab?
A watch glass covers beakers against dust and splashes while still letting vapour escape at the edge. It is also used to dry or weigh small amounts of solid, to evaporate small volumes, or as a clean surface to set down a stirring rod or spatula. In a desiccator or oven it holds small samples while they dry to constant weight. For routine weighing, dedicated boats are often handier; see weighing boats, dishes and paper.

Why Watch glasses & crystallising dishes?
A watch glass is a shallow curved cover or a dish for drying a few grams. A crystallising dish is the flatter, wider dish a solution is left in while a solid comes out. Neither is volumetric. Diameter is the specification.
A dish is an open vessel for drying, evaporating or holding a solid. Porcelain and glazed ceramic take a higher temperature than borosilicate glass, which is why a crucible, not a beaker, goes into a furnace. A watch glass covers, or holds a small amount for drying. A mortar is for grinding. The temperature and the chemical, not the shape alone, choose the material. Laboratory ware of this family is listed under ISO laboratory ware.
