Porcelain Capsule
Product Code : SCL-CL-11564
Porcelain Capsule (SKU SCL-CL-11564) is a white porcelain dish of 50 ml capacity, also known as an evaporating capsule or basin, in which solutions are evaporated and small quantities of solids are heated. It serves crystallisation and residue tests in school and college chemistry laboratories. Laboratories and resellers can order the capsule from Science Lab Supplies, whose dispatch point is Ambala, India.
Specifications
For the 50 ml evaporating capsule, the table gives every specification on its own row. In short, it is made of white, chemical-resistant porcelain for laboratory use; porcelain tolerates heat and the acids or salts met in routine evaporations, and the white surface makes coloured residues and crystals easy to see.

Applications and Experiments for the Porcelain Capsule
The capsule is used to drive off water or another solvent from a solution and recover the dissolved solid. Heated on a gauze or water bath, it lets students see crystals form and residues appear, which is central to separation and salt-preparation work in school and undergraduate chemistry.
- Class 6–9 science: evaporating salt water over a Laboratory Spirit Burner to recover common salt.
- Class 9 science: separating a mixture by filtration through a Glass Funnel lined with Filter Paper, then evaporating the filtrate.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: concentrating solutions to prepare crystals of inorganic salts.
- B.Sc. practicals: evaporating filtrates to dryness before residue tests.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Porcelain Capsule is supplied as a single 50 ml white porcelain dish. Tripod stands, gauzes and water baths used to heat it are separate items, and any optional accessories you request, such as spare capsules or supports, are shown on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
One capsule, a class set or a stock for the whole year can be quoted. Each quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and it can include other items from the range of this laboratory glassware supplier in India, such as funnels and beakers.
Science Lab Supplies, a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, is able to ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Capsules and heating supports can share one request: add them to the enquiry cart, ask questions on the contact page, or use the lab tender page for a tender schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a porcelain capsule used for?
It is used to evaporate solutions and heat small amounts of solids, so students can recover salts and observe crystals or residues against the white porcelain surface.
What is its capacity?
The capsule holds 50 ml, a practical size for evaporating the small solution volumes used in school and college experiments without long heating times, and it can be heated on a gauze or in a triangle.
Who supplies the Porcelain Capsule?
Science Lab Supplies issues quotations for this capsule and sends it from Ambala, India. Small school orders and bulk requirements from distributors or tender contractors are both itemised with packing and delivery details.
How should it be heated?
Heat it gradually on a gauze, pipeclay triangle or water bath rather than plunging it into a hot flame, and let it cool before washing to reduce the risk of cracking the porcelain.
