Glass dishes are a type of laboratory glassware which can be used for a number of lab purposes, such as for evaporation of solvents, drying samples, sample storage, ice bath and so on. Evaporating dishes are used to evaporate solutions, supernatant or excess solvents. These are usually supplied in the range of 3-100ml capacity. They vary in shape, depending on the capacity they can hold. The large dishes, up to 100ml are hemispherical. Glass basins can also be used for storing liquids. The presence of a spout facilitates pouring and avoids spills. These dishes can also be used to store ice cubes, in order to create an ice bath or to store samples in ice-cold conditions. Glass dishes, of a wide range of sizes, can be purchased
