EISCO Crystallizing Dish, 150ml – Flat Bottom, No Spout – Borosilicate 3.3 Glass – Laboratory, Kitchen, Crafts

Description

Product Overview

The EISCO Crystallizing Dish is engineered for precision work in scientific, educational, and creative environments. Constructed from high‑quality Borosilicate 3.3 glass, the dish provides exceptional thermal shock resistance, allowing it to endure direct flame and rapid temperature changes without cracking. Its flat‑bottom design ensures stable placement on work surfaces, while the absence of a spout or lid simplifies the evaporation process and reduces the risk of sample loss. Measuring 3.1 inches in diameter and standing 1.75 inches tall, the dish holds up to 150 ml of liquid, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from small‑scale crystallization to larger evaporation tasks. The heavy‑duty glass composition also offers superior chemical durability, resisting corrosion from acids, bases, and solvents commonly used in laboratory protocols. With a clear, transparent body, users can easily monitor reaction progress without the need for additional lighting or equipment.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this crystallizing dish excels in professional laboratory settings where reliable performance is essential. Researchers can employ it for evaporating solvents, growing crystals, and conducting qualitative analysis of precipitates. In academic classrooms, the dish serves as an ideal teaching tool for demonstrating concepts such as solubility, supersaturation, and crystal morphology, providing students with hands‑on experience that reinforces theoretical lessons. Beyond the scientific realm, hobbyists and artisans find the dish valuable for crafts that require heat‑stable containers, such as candle making, resin casting, and small‑batch food preparation. Its ability to be sterilized in autoclaves or by dry heat further expands its utility, ensuring that the dish can be safely reused across multiple experiments or projects without compromising sample integrity.

FAQ

Can the dish be used over an open flame?

Yes. The Borosilicate 3.3 glass composition is specifically formulated to tolerate direct flame and rapid temperature changes, making it safe for use on Bunsen burners and hot plates.

Is the dish compatible with standard laboratory racks?

The dish’s dimensions (3.1″ diameter, 1.75″ height) fit common laboratory rack slots, allowing secure storage and easy access during multi‑step procedures.

How should I clean the dish after use?

Rinse the dish with distilled water to remove residues, then sterilize in an autoclave at 121 °C for 15 minutes or place in a dry heat oven at 160 °C for 2 hours for thorough decontamination.

What types of chemicals can the dish safely hold?

The glass is resistant to most acids, bases, and organic solvents, including hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, ethanol, and acetone. However, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to hydrofluoric acid, which can etch glass.
