Composition: Pt Form: Crucible Material: Platinum CAS Number: 7440-06-4 Commodity: Precious Metals Height: 2mm
Platinum Flat Bottomed Micro Crucible with Pouring Lip (99.99% purity) is an ultra-compact fusion vessel for small-scale sample preparation requiring controlled transfer of molten material. Available in OD 10 mm and OD 15 mm formats at 2 mm height, it is designed for micro-scale XRF fusion bead preparation and small-volume melt casting where precise, directed pouring from a compact platinum vessel is required. The flat base provides a stable heating footprint, and the integral pouring lip allows the fused material to be transferred cleanly to a micro-casting mould with minimal material loss. Its 99.99% pure platinum construction ensures no contamination of the melt, making it suitable for high-sensitivity trace element analysis on small or precious samples. Typical applications include micro-scale geological and mineralogical sample fusion for XRF analysis, small-volume synthesis of flux-grown crystals, and preparative fusion work in research environments where sample quantity is severely constrained.
