Eisco Labs Evaporating Basin – Porcelain – Flat Form with Spout – 50 ml

Description

Product Overview

The Eisco Labs Evaporating Basin is engineered to meet the exacting standards of modern scientific laboratories. Constructed from high‑quality porcelain, the basin offers superior chemical resistance and durability, ensuring that it can withstand repeated exposure to a wide range of solvents, acids, and bases without degradation. Its flat form measures 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch in depth, providing a generous surface area for evaporation while maintaining a compact footprint that fits comfortably within standard lab racks and incubators.

One of the most distinctive features of this basin is the integrated spout, precisely molded to deliver controlled pouring of concentrated residues or condensates. The spout design minimizes splashing and loss of material, which is critical when working with valuable or hazardous substances. The basin holds up to 50 ml of liquid, a capacity that balances the need for sufficient volume with the practicality of handling and storage.

The glazed interior surface not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also simplifies cleaning procedures. A simple rinse with distilled water removes most residues, and the glaze resists staining, reducing the need for aggressive cleaning agents that could compromise the integrity of the porcelain. The basin’s weight of 1.45 ounces makes it lightweight enough for easy handling yet sturdy enough to remain stable during vigorous shaking or heating processes.

Manufactured by EISCO, a reputable name in laboratory glassware, this evaporation dish carries the model number CH0070B and has been a reliable component in scientific workflows since its introduction in June 2016. Its best‑seller rank of #11 in Lab Evaporation Dishes underscores its popularity among researchers who value consistency, precision, and ease of use.

Usage

The Evaporating Basin is ideally suited for a variety of laboratory applications, including solvent evaporation, sample concentration, and the preparation of thin films. Its flat geometry promotes uniform heat distribution when placed on a hot plate or within a drying oven, facilitating efficient removal of volatile components. Researchers frequently employ the basin in analytical chemistry, organic synthesis, and biochemistry protocols where precise control over evaporation rates is essential.

In educational settings, the basin serves as an excellent teaching tool for demonstrating fundamental principles of phase change, solubility, and crystallization. Its clear, glazed surface allows students to observe the progress of evaporation in real time, reinforcing theoretical concepts with visual evidence.

For quality control laboratories, the basin’s spout provides a convenient means of transferring the final concentrated solution to downstream analytical instruments such as HPLC or GC systems, reducing the risk of sample loss and contamination. The 50 ml capacity is sufficient for most routine assays while remaining small enough to conserve valuable reagents.

When used in conjunction with temperature‑controlled equipment, the basin’s porcelain composition ensures that it does not react with the sample, preserving the integrity of the experiment. Its compatibility with standard laboratory accessories, such as magnetic stir bars and silicone heating mats, further expands its versatility across a broad spectrum of experimental designs.

FAQ

What types of chemicals can I safely use with this basin?

The porcelain material is resistant to most organic solvents, acids, and bases commonly used in laboratory settings. However, it is advisable to avoid highly concentrated hydrofluoric acid, which can etch porcelain.

Can the basin be used on a hot plate or in a drying oven?

Yes, the basin is designed to withstand typical laboratory heating temperatures. It can be placed directly on a hot plate or inside a drying oven up to 200 °C without cracking or deforming.

How do I clean the basin after use?

Rinse the basin with distilled water to remove most residues. For stubborn deposits, a mild detergent or laboratory‑grade cleaning solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse to ensure no cleaning agents remain.

Is the basin compatible with magnetic stir bars?

Absolutely. The flat bottom provides a stable surface for magnetic stir bars, allowing efficient mixing of solutions during evaporation or heating processes.

What is the warranty or replacement policy for this product?

EISCO offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If a defect is identified, contact our support team for a replacement or refund, subject to verification of the issue.
