Recycle your old, worn, or unused platinum labware, crucibles, wire and more from your university’s science department and laboratory.

Crucibles, dishes, lids and covers (platinum, gold, palladium, iridium)
Tongs, stirring rods, clamps, molds and more (gold, silver, platinum, palladium)
Wire and gauze (gold, silver, platinum, palladium)
