Platinum Round Bottomed Micro Crucible with Handle and Pouring Lip

Platinum Round Bottomed Micro Crucible with Handle and Pouring Lip (99.99% purity) combines a hemispherical base geometry with an integral handle and pouring lip for micro-scale fusion and melt transfer applications. Available in OD 15 mm and OD 22 mm formats, the round bottom promotes mixing and swirling of the melt during fusion, improving flux dissolution and sample homogenisation compared to flat-bottomed formats at small working volumes. The handle allows direct manipulation of the hot crucible without tongs in applications where tong contact risks deformation of a micro-scale platinum vessel, and the pouring lip enables clean, directed transfer of the fused material to a micro-mould or receiving vessel. Manufactured from 99.99% pure platinum, it is suited to micro-scale XRF fusion bead preparation, small-volume synthesis of flux-grown crystals, and research fusion workflows where active mixing during fusion and clean bead release from a very small vessel are both process requirements.
