Today we will introduce you to another laboratory equipment called Crystallizer.
What is a Crystallizer?
To know what a crystallizer is, you should say it is a type of laboratory container that belongs to the same family as beakers.
You are likely familiar with laboratory beakers, and you may have even seen before. Laboratory beakers come in three sizes: short, tall, and very short, and the very short one is specifically referred to as a crystallizer.
Applications of Crystallizer
The crystallizer or very short beaker, which is used in laboratories for crystallization and heating liquids, is typically made of borosilicate materials that are highly resistant to heat, with the most common sizes being 6, 10, and 16 cm in diameter.
You may assume that these laboratory equipment are disposable and are discarded after each use, but that is not correct. Crystallizers, on the other hand, are reusable and can be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized after each use, making them a highly valuable asset in laboratories.
Crystallizer Characteristics
You’ve been introduced to crystallizer laboratory equipment and learned that they can be used for crystallization and as a heat bath.
Like other laboratory equipment, crystallizers have unique characteristics that make them essential in laboratories.
Some of the characteristics of crystallizer laboratory equipment include their heat resistance, autoclave ability, and reusability.
It’s worth noting that some crystallizer laboratory equipment have a rim, spout, or pouring lip for easy liquid discharge, while others do not have these features.
Crystallizer Materials
The material of crystallizers is typically borosilicate glass or Pyrex, which provides high heat resistance and allows the glass to retain its unique properties.
Because laboratory experiments, such as those in medical, industrial, chemical, and other labs, demand equipment and containers that can endure heat and other conditions that may disrupt the experiment, it is vital to utilize heat-resistant equipment. Utilizing heat-resistant equipment is crucial when acquiring and preparing laboratory equipment.
Crystallizer Sales
There are many distributors and companies around the world that sell crystallizers, allowing you to purchase the one you need for your laboratory.
Mettler’s distributor in Iran, Artin Azma Mehr, is a company that provides laboratory equipment and supplies with a several-year warranty, aiming to satisfy their customers’ needs.
