7879-09-020(1)-CH: Chemplex® Specific: Platinum and Gold (5%) Crucible, 20mm, Flat Bottom

Chemplex^® platinum ware consists of highly refined precious metals: 100% platinum or 95% platinum and 5% gold. with others are available upon request. The combination of platinum and gold imparts a negative coefficient of adhesion characteristic commonly referred to as “non-wetting. This important feature enables complete pours of solubilized samples for ICP, AA and XRF analysis with avoidance of potential elusive droplets adhering to the platinum ware. For ICP and AA analysis, the molten pour is transferred to a beaker for further processing. With XRF analysis, the molten sample is poured into a mold and allowed to cool creating what is referred to a bead. Upon cooling to solidification, the sample disc is easily removed for direct XRF analysis without further preparation.

In the manufacturing of Chemplex^® platinum crucibles and molds extra precautionary care is taken to avoid introducing undesirable surface markings. Even the smallest imperfection may potentially influence the performance of the crucible, the mold and quality of the sample disc surface. All Chemplex^® platinum ware is highly polished to mirror quality reflection, thoroughly cleaned and inspected prior to packaging and delivery.
