Description of Standard Platinum Dish

Our Platinum Crucibles and Molds are manufactured using a 5% Au-Pt alloy, combining the strength and durability of platinum with the added benefits of gold. This 5% Au-Pt alloy is particularly well-suited for sample preparation prior to XRF analysis, as its “non-wetting” property significantly enhances the ease of bead sample removal after fusion, ensuring clean and accurate results. These crucibles and molds are engineered to withstand the rigors of repeated high-temperature use, making them an ideal choice for laboratories and industrial settings where precision and reliability are paramount.

FAQs

Q1 What temperatures can a Standard Platinum Dish withstand?
Platinum dishes can typically withstand temperatures of up to 1700°C, making them ideal for high-temperature applications such as sample melting or ash testing.

Q2. Is a Standard Platinum Dish resistant to chemical corrosion?
Yes, platinum is highly resistant to most acids, alkalis, and other chemicals, ensuring the dish remains intact in corrosive environments.

Q3. How should I clean and maintain a Standard Platinum Dish?
To clean a platinum dish, use mild detergents and avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. For tough residues, cleaning with diluted acid solutions is often recommended.
