Primary Uses
As a high-form porcelain crucible, the VWR 89038-000 is a standard piece of laboratory ceramics used for:
Gravimetric Analysis: It is used to hold chemical compounds when they are being heated to high temperatures to determine their mass.
Ashing/Ignition: Essential for processes where a sample needs to be heated until all volatile components are driven off and only the non-combustible residue (ash) remains. This is common in material science and food testing.
Melting/Suspension: Used for melting, dissolving, or suspending solid materials in chemical experiments and high-temperature material analyses.
Thermogravimetry (TGA): Used to contain samples undergoing mass change under controlled heating conditions.
