VWR® Combustion Boats, Glazed

VWR® Combustion Boats are high-quality porcelain vessels designed for combustion, ashing, and thermal analysis applications in analytical chemistry and material testing. Made from durable porcelain, these boats are available in glazed versions that offer excellent chemical resistance and structural integrity under high-temperature conditions.

Glazed boats resist acids and bases and are suitable for repeated use at temperatures up to 1000 °C, while unglazed variants can withstand up to 1350 °C, making them ideal for high-temperature ashing or combustion procedures. Each boat includes an eyelet for safe and easy handling with tongs or retrieval tools, minimizing the risk of breakage or contamination during furnace operations.

Key Features

• Glazed porcelain construction for excellent resistance to acids and bases
• High thermal stability: Glazed up to 1000 °C, unglazed up to 1350 °C
• Integrated eyelet allows easy retrieval from muffle or combustion furnaces
• Ideal for combustion, ashing, drying, and residue analysis
• Reusable and resistant to mechanical and thermal shock under controlled conditions

Applications

• Elemental and trace analysis by combustion
• Ashing procedures in environmental and food analysis
• Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) sample containers
• Heating of residues or inorganic samples in furnaces
• Sample incineration in chemistry or materials science
