SI11507 Optical-Grade Fused Silica Evaporating Dish

Optical-Grade Fused Silica Evaporating Dish Description

The Optical-Grade Fused Silica Evaporating Dish is fabricated from high-grade fused quartz (SiO₂) ensuring minimal interaction with chemical samples during evaporation. Its inherent thermal stability and low thermal conductivity support uniform heating, reducing the potential for localized overheating. This design minimises contaminant adhesion and preserves sample integrity during precision laboratory evaporative processes.

Optical-Grade Fused Silica Evaporating Dish Applications

1.       Analytical Laboratories
   - Used as an evaporating dish in sample concentration to achieve accurate residue measurements by leveraging its chemically inert surface and controlled heating properties.

2.       Chemical Processing
   - Applied as a reaction vessel for evaporation in small-scale chemical reactions to control thermal gradients and reduce contamination risks through its stable material composition.

3.       Materials Research
   - Serves as a testing apparatus for thermal studies in material synthesis to provide consistent thermal profiles by utilising its low thermal conductivity and high optical clarity.

Optical-Grade Fused Silica Evaporating Dish Packing

The Optical-Grade Fused Silica Evaporating Dish is packaged in a rigid, shock-absorbent foam-lined container with an anti-static barrier to prevent contamination and damage. It is stored under dry conditions at room temperature to preserve its physical and optical properties. Custom packaging options, including compartmentalised and labelled formats, are available upon request to meet specific laboratory handling requirements.

Additional Information

Fused quartz, known chemically as SiO₂, is a staple in high-purity laboratory applications due to its exceptional chemical inertness and dimensional stability under thermal stress. Optical-grade variants are specifically processed to minimise impurities and surface defects, ensuring a smooth finish for sensitive evaporation processes.

Advancements in material processing have enabled precise control over the microstructure of fused quartz, making it suitable for critical applications in analytical chemistry, materials research, and other fields where contamination-free environments are essential. Understanding these properties helps researchers design experiments with accurate temperature controls and minimal interference.
