Aluminium Petri Dish 4 Inch with Lid (Moisture Tin) – 100 mm x 50 mm (4 x 2 Inches)

Our 100mm x 50mm Aluminium Petri Dish ( Moisture Tin )is a rugged, high-capacity moisture tin designed for laboratories that handle larger volumetric samples. Often referred to as the 4 x 2 inch deep-form tin, it provides the extra vertical space needed for coarse soil aggregates, larger grain batches, or bulky chemical powders that require oven drying.

Crafted from high-purity, industrial-grade aluminium, this dish offers exceptional thermal conductivity, ensuring your samples reach uniform temperatures quickly. The deep-wall construction is specifically reinforced to prevent warping under high heat. Each tin is accompanied by a precision-fit overlapping lid that creates a tight seal, essential for preventing moisture re-absorption while samples cool before weighing.

Key Features:

• High-Capacity Deep Form: The 50mm (2 inch) depth allows for significantly larger sample sizes compared to standard shallow dishes.

• Uniform Thermal Distribution: Pure aluminium construction ensures even heating across the entire sample for accurate “Loss on Drying” (LOD) results.

• Corrosion & Rust Resistant: Ideal for high-humidity environments, wet soil samples, and acidic/basic reagent drying.

• Precision-Fit Lid: The overlapping design protects sample integrity and prevents contamination during transport from oven to scale.

• Industrial Durability: A shatterproof, lightweight, and reusable alternative to glass labware, designed for heavy-duty daily use.
