Description
Product Overview
The EISCO Evaporating Basin is engineered for precision and durability in demanding scientific and culinary environments. Constructed from high‑quality Borosilicate 3.3 glass, the basin offers exceptional thermal shock resistance, allowing direct exposure to open flames and rapid temperature changes without cracking. Its flat bottom provides a stable platform for uniform heating, while the integrated spout enables controlled pouring of liquids, reducing waste and improving workflow efficiency. With a 500 ml capacity, the basin measures 2.5 inches in height, a base diameter of 2.3 inches, and a top diameter of 5.2 inches, making it compact enough for bench‑top use yet spacious enough for a variety of applications.
Usage
This basin excels in laboratory settings for evaporating solvents, concentrating solutions, and preparing reagents. Its chemical‑resistant glass surface tolerates aggressive acids, bases, and organic solvents, ensuring longevity even under harsh conditions. In educational classrooms, the basin serves as a hands‑on teaching tool for demonstrating evaporation, crystallization, and solution preparation techniques. Home chefs and hobbyists will appreciate its versatility for measuring, mixing, and storing culinary ingredients, especially when precise temperature control is required, such as in candy making or sauce reduction. The spout design simplifies transfer of hot liquids, reducing the risk of spills and burns.

FAQ
Can the basin 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 on Bunsen burners, hot plates, and other open‑flame equipment.
Is the basin compatible with standard laboratory clamps?
Absolutely. The basin’s dimensions and flat bottom allow it to be securely clamped to ring stands or tripod supports, providing stable positioning during heating or mixing operations.
How should I clean the basin after use?
Rinse the basin with warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly. For stubborn residues, soak in a dilute acid solution (e.g., 5% nitric acid) followed by a thorough rinse. The glass can also be autoclaved for sterilization.
Will the basin crack if I pour cold liquid into a hot basin?
The Borosilicate composition offers excellent thermal shock resistance, but to maximize longevity, avoid extreme temperature differentials. Gradual cooling is recommended for best results.
Is this basin suitable for food‑grade applications?
Yes, the glass is non‑porous and does not leach chemicals, making it safe for culinary uses such as measuring, mixing, and heating food ingredients.
