Description
Product Overview
Heathrow Scientific aluminum weigh boats are engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern laboratories, research facilities, and food‑processing environments. Constructed from a light‑gauge aluminum alloy, each boat offers a perfect balance of durability and disposability, allowing users to perform accurate weigh‑in and mixing tasks without the concern of cross‑contamination. The boats feature a smooth, flat bottom that ensures samples sit evenly, while the flanged, crimped walls provide added rigidity and resistance to deformation during handling. With a volume capacity of 34 mL (approximately 1.15 oz), these medium‑sized dishes are sized to accommodate a wide range of sample volumes, from small analytical quantities to larger formulation batches. The product dimensions of 9.64 × 2.4 × 2.4 inches make them compatible with standard laboratory racks, centrifuges, and balance platforms, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows. Each pack contains 100 individually wrapped boats, offering a convenient, ready‑to‑use solution for high‑throughput operations.

Usage
These aluminum weigh boats excel in a variety of practical applications. In analytical chemistry labs, they are used for precise gravimetric analysis, allowing scientists to weigh solid reagents, liquids, and powders with minimal loss. In food‑technology settings, the boats serve as disposable containers for measuring ingredients, testing moisture content, or conducting small‑scale batch trials. Their lightweight nature makes them ideal for field‑based research where portability is essential, and the disposable design eliminates the need for cleaning, reducing turnaround time between experiments. The boats are also suitable for educational laboratories, providing students with a safe, single‑use option that teaches proper weighing techniques without the risk of contaminating reusable glassware. Whether you are performing evaporation studies, drying samples, or simply transferring reagents, the smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion, ensuring accurate recovery and consistent results.

FAQ
What is the maximum temperature these weigh boats can withstand?
The aluminum alloy used in Heathrow Scientific weigh boats can safely endure temperatures up to 200 °C (392 °F) for short periods, making them suitable for most heating applications in the laboratory.
Are the boats compatible with standard analytical balances?
Yes, the boats are designed to fit on most analytical balances and weighing platforms. Their flat bottom provides a stable surface, ensuring accurate measurements.
Can I use these boats for chemical reactions that produce gases?
While the boats are primarily intended for weighing and mixing, they can be used for reactions that generate gases as long as the reaction does not require a sealed environment. For sealed reactions, consider using appropriate reaction vessels.
How should I store the unopened packs?
Store the unopened boxes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The individual foil wrappers protect each boat from moisture and contaminants, preserving their performance until use.
What is the recommended disposal method?
Because the boats are made of aluminum, they can be recycled in facilities that accept aluminum scrap. If recycling is not available, dispose of them according to your institution’s hazardous waste guidelines.
