Platinum wire is commonly used in laboratory settings, particularly for flame tests and testing beads of minerals and other unidentified inorganic compounds. Here are some key details about platinum wire:
Purpose:
Flame Testing: Platinum wire is used for flame tests, where it is dipped into a test solution and then introduced into a flame.
Properties:
Inertness: Platinum is virtually inert, resisting attack by most chemicals.
Non-Contaminating: Unlike other wire materials (such as nickel-chromium or iron), platinum does not contaminate bead tests with its own color.
Dimensions: The platinum wire is supplied in a borosilicate glass tube, fused into a glass handle, and attached to a silicon cork:
Tube length: 5 inches
Tube diameter: 0.6 inches
Wire length: 18-20 mm
