Platinum Dishes FAQs
What are platinum dishes used for?
Platinum dishes are used in laboratories for evaporation, ignition, fusion and gravimetric analysis. Their exceptional resistance to high temperatures and chemical corrosion makes them ideal for analytical procedures where contamination must be avoided.
Why are platinum dishes preferred over ceramic or porcelain dishes?
Platinum dishes offer significantly greater durability, thermal stability and chemical resistance than ceramic alternatives. They can withstand repeated heating cycles without cracking and are less likely to contaminate sensitive samples, making them the preferred choice for many analytical laboratories.
What purity of platinum are your dishes manufactured from?
Unless otherwise specified, Birmingham Metal manufactures platinum dishes from high-purity platinum. Alternative alloys including platinum-rhodium and platinum-gold can also be supplied for applications requiring enhanced strength or non-wetting properties.
Can you manufacture bespoke platinum dishes?
Yes. Alongside our standard range, we manufacture platinum dishes to customer specifications. We can produce bespoke diameters, depths, wall thicknesses and specialist designs to suit individual laboratory equipment or testing procedures.
Do platinum dishes come with pouring lips?
Our standard platinum dishes are supplied without a pouring lip unless one is specifically requested. We can manufacture dishes with pouring lips where required for easier handling and sample transfer.
Which industries use platinum dishes?
Our platinum dishes are widely used throughout:
- Chemical laboratories
- Universities and research facilities
- Geological laboratories
- Environmental testing
- Glass manufacturing
- Cement analysis
- Pharmaceutical laboratories
- Materials science
Can platinum dishes be recycled?
Yes. Platinum retains a high intrinsic value and can be recycled once it reaches the end of its working life. Birmingham Metal offers a precious metal recycling service, helping customers recover value from worn or damaged platinum laboratory equipment.
