Editing Platinum (section)

===Other uses===
In the laboratory, platinum wire is used for electrodes; platinum pans and supports are used in [[thermogravimetric analysis]] because of the stringent requirements of chemical inertness upon heating to high temperatures (~1000&nbsp;°C). Platinum is used as an alloying agent for various metal products, including fine wires, noncorrosive laboratory containers, medical instruments, dental prostheses, electrical contacts, and thermocouples. Platinum-[[cobalt]], an alloy of roughly three parts platinum and one part cobalt, is used to make relatively strong permanent [[magnet]]s.<ref name="krebs" /> Platinum-based anodes are used in ships, pipelines, and steel piers.<ref name="CRC" /> Platinum drugs are used to treat a wide variety of cancers, including testicular and ovarian carcinomas, melanoma, small-cell and non-small-cell lung cancer, myelomas and lymphomas.<ref name="apps">{{cite journal |last1=Apps |first1=Michael G |last2=Choi |first2=Eugene H Y |last3=Wheate |first3=Nial J |title=The state-of-play and future of platinum drugs |journal=Endocrine-Related Cancer |date=August 2015 |volume=22 |issue=4 |pages=R219–R233 |doi=10.1530/ERC-15-0237 |publisher=Society for Endocrinology|pmid=26113607 |doi-access=free |hdl=2123/24426 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>
