Platinum Crucible & Mold Description

Platinum is the preferred choice for standard laboratory equipment due to its inertness, high melting point, ability to sustain extreme temperatures, ductility, and resistance to corrosion and oxidation.

Our Pt crucible and Pt mold are made in 5% Au-Pt alloy. 5%Au-Pt crucibles and molds are utilized for sample preparation prior to XRF analysis. This material’s “non-wetting” property facilitates the removal of bead samples after fusion.
