Evaporating dishes

Porcelain is the material named most often on this shelf. Choose PTFE when the title says PTFE, for a liquid that attacks porcelain or glass. Choose stainless steel when the title says steel, for a robust metal dish. The volume is in the title. Other dishes are in dishes, crucibles and porcelain.

Choose a dish whose stated volume is larger than the liquid you will evaporate, so it does not creep over the rim. The volume is in the title. Questions: sales@luminixhealth.com.

A flat-bottom dish stands steadily on a hot plate or in a drying oven. A round-bottom dish sits well in a water bath or on a tripod with gauze over a flame. A dish with a spout makes it easier to pour off the residue or remaining liquid. Heat sources are in hot plates and heating blocks and water and oil baths. Questions about a specific product?

That depends on the material. Porcelain and quartz withstand high temperatures, borosilicate glass is moderate, and PTFE and PFA have a clearly lower maximum. Check the maximum working temperature on the product page before you heat. Heat and cool gradually, because sudden temperature changes can crack ceramic and glass. For ashing or ignition at high temperature, use a crucible instead; see crucibles and muffle and tube furnaces. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

A lid protects the residue against dust and splashes and lets you store the dish with its contents. Without a lid, evaporation is faster, which is usually what you want during the actual evaporation step. Some plastic dishes come with a snap-on lid. For glass and porcelain dishes, a watch glass of the right diameter makes a simple cover; see watch glasses and crystallising dishes. Need advice for your set-up? Mail sales@luminixhealth.com.

An evaporating dish is for driving off a solvent until only a residue is left. A crystallising dish is a flat dish with straight walls, in which crystals can grow slowly from a solution. A watch glass is small and shallow, used to cover a beaker or dish, or to dry and weigh small amounts. The last two are in watch glasses and crystallising dishes.

An evaporating dish is a shallow porcelain or glass dish used to drive off a liquid over heat. The flat form gives surface area. Porcelain takes a higher heat than borosilicate. It is not a crucible and it is not a volumetric vessel.

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.
