EISCO Crystallizing Dish, 3500ml – Flat Bottom, with Spout – Borosilicate 3.3 Glass – Laboratory, Kitchen, Crafts

Description

Product Overview

The EISCO Crystallizing Dish combines industrial‑grade Borosilicate 3.3 glass with a thoughtfully engineered flat bottom and a precision‑cut spout. With a generous 3500 ml capacity, an 8‑inch diameter and a 4.1‑inch height, the dish offers ample surface area for evaporation, crystallization, and other laboratory processes. The heavy‑duty glass resists thermal shock, allowing direct flame exposure and rapid temperature changes without cracking. Its chemical durability protects against corrosive reagents, and the smooth interior surface simplifies cleaning and sterilization. The dish meets ASTM standards for laboratory glassware, ensuring consistent performance across research, teaching, and hobbyist environments.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this crystallizing dish excels in a range of settings. In professional laboratories, it supports high‑temperature evaporation, recrystallization of organic compounds, and preparation of supersaturated solutions. Science classrooms benefit from its clear visibility and safe handling characteristics, allowing students to observe crystal growth in real time. Home users engaged in DIY chemistry, small‑scale distillation, or craft projects such as glass etching will appreciate the dish’s robust construction and easy‑to‑pour spout. The dish can be placed on a hot plate, a heating mantle, or directly over a Bunsen burner, making it compatible with most standard lab equipment.

FAQ

Can the dish be used over an open flame?

Yes. The Borosilicate 3.3 glass is designed to withstand direct flame and rapid temperature changes, making it safe for use over Bunsen burners or other open‑flame heat sources.

Is the dish compatible with autoclave sterilization?

Absolutely. The dish can be autoclaved at standard temperatures (121 °C) without compromising its structural integrity or clarity.

How do I clean the spout to prevent clogging?

Rinse the spout immediately after use with distilled water, then soak in a mild detergent solution if residue remains. A soft brush can be used to clear any stubborn deposits.

What is the maximum temperature the dish can handle?

The glass tolerates temperatures up to 350 °C, allowing for high‑heat applications such as reflux, distillation, and direct flame heating.

Can I use the dish for non‑laboratory crafts?

Yes. Its sturdy construction and clear glass make it suitable for artistic projects, such as resin casting, candle making, or decorative crystal growth experiments.
