SAMPLING TRAYS AZA1045
AZA1045 Sampling Trays are robust, laboratory-grade trays designed for safe handling, heating, storage, and transfer of bulk material samples in testing and quality control environments. These trays are indispensable tools in geotechnical laboratories, construction material testing labs, soil and aggregate testing facilities, environmental labs, food testing units, and industrial R&D centers.
Specifically engineered to withstand repeated handling and oven heating cycles, AZA1045 trays provide a stable, non-reactive surface for maintaining sample integrity throughout preparation, drying, and evaluation processes.
Description
Sampling trays play a critical role in laboratory workflows where accurate sample handling and contamination-free processing are essential. The AZA1045 trays are manufactured using high-quality materials, offering durability, dimensional stability, and resistance to deformation during heating or prolonged use.
These trays are widely used for keeping samples inside laboratory ovens, particularly during moisture determination, drying, and conditioning procedures. Their flat base and raised sidewalls prevent sample loss while ensuring even heat exposure across the entire specimen.
Designed in accordance with laboratory best practices such as ASTM C702 – Standard Practice for Reducing Samples of Aggregate to Testing Size, AZA1045 trays provide a non-absorbent, easy-to-clean surface suitable for soil, aggregate, powder, and granular materials.
