Evaporating dish, Nairobi Industrial Area

An evaporating dish is a shallow, circular dish typically made of glass, porcelain, or ceramic, designed to hold liquids for evaporation. It features a broad, flat surface that maximizes the area exposed to air, promoting faster evaporation of solvents. The dish is often used in laboratories for processes such as evaporating excess solvent from solutions, crystallization, and drying solid samples. Its materials are heat-resistant, allowing for direct heating over a flame or on a hot plate without risk of breaking. The shape and durability make it ideal for precise measurements and chemical reactions.
