Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of the glazed surface on LLG dishes?
The high-quality glaze on LLG porcelain evaporating dishes creates a smooth, non-stick surface that is highly resistant to chemical attack and easy to clean after use.
2. Can RSG instrument boxes be autoclaved?
Yes, RSG instrument boxes are manufactured from 18/10 stainless steel, making them fully autoclavable and ideal for the sterilization of laboratory and surgical instruments.
3. Why do some evaporating dishes have a drain or spout?
The integrated drain or spout, found on LLG low form dishes, allows for the precise and splash-free transfer of concentrated liquids into other vessels once evaporation is complete.
4. Are these dishes suitable for use with a Bunsen burner?
Yes, the porcelain evaporating dishes from LLG and Haldenwanger are designed for high-temperature use and can safely be used over open flames or in furnaces.
