University science laboratories and science departments are a treasure trove of precious metals. Over the years, Specialty Metals has worked with over a hundred different university science departments and labs to help them recover the value for numerous precious metal products that are no longer needed. Some of the high value precious metals that can be found in the lab include:

• 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)

• Sponge and powders (gold, silver, platinum, palladium)

• Chemicals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium)

• Electrodes (platinum, palladium, iridium)

• And anything else that contains gold, silver, platinum, and palladium
