Standard Crucibles

88Labware Standard Crucibles – High-Purity Platinum Labware for Accurate Thermal Testing

The 88Labware Standard Crucibles are precision-engineered using high-purity platinum or platinum-gold alloys, making them a trusted choice for laboratories conducting high-temperature analysis. Designed with a traditional cylindrical form and flat base, these crucibles ensure consistent sample containment and optimal thermal conductivity—essential for procedures like thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and fusion techniques.

Built to withstand rigorous thermal cycling, each crucible is manufactured to exacting standards, offering high resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and thermal shock. The standard shape and dimensions provide compatibility with a wide range of laboratory instruments and balances, making them an indispensable tool across analytical, industrial, and research settings.

The smooth interior surface of the crucibles minimizes material adhesion and sample residue, allowing for more accurate measurements and easier cleaning between uses. These features contribute to repeatable, contamination-free results, ensuring data integrity in sensitive analyses.

As part of 88Labware’s premium platinum labware collection, these standard crucibles are available in various volumes and wall thicknesses to meet different application needs. Laboratories can also request customized platinum laboratory accessories, tailored to specific processes or equipment requirements.

Whether you’re working in materials science, pharmaceutical research, or environmental testing, the 88Labware Standard Crucibles deliver long-lasting performance, making them an essential component of any high-precision lab setup.
