Description

Premium Borosilicate Glass Desiccator – Heavy-Duty Moisture-Free Storage Vessel

Protect your moisture-sensitive compounds and maintain precise sample dryness with our professional-grade Glass Desiccator. Masterfully constructed from thick, high-purity borosilicate glass, this heavy-duty laboratory vessel is engineered to create an airtight, controlled atmosphere. By utilizing a desiccant agent in the base chamber, it effectively extracts atmospheric moisture, making it an indispensable instrument for analytical chemistry, gravimetric analysis, and long-term chemical preservation.

Key Applications:

• Cooling & Drying Samples: The industry standard for cooling heated crucibles or weighing bottles to room temperature in a completely moisture-free environment before accurate gravimetric weighing.

• Moisture-Sensitive Storage: Ideal for storing hygroscopic chemical powders, standards, and anhydrous reagents that degrade or react when exposed to ambient humidity.

• Vacuum Desiccation: (Vacuum-type variation) Equipped with a precision stopcock on the lid, allowing the air to be evacuated to accelerate the drying process and remove volatile solvents.

• Electronic Component Preservation: Safely protects delicate sensors, lenses, and electronic substrates from humidity-induced oxidation or mold growth.

Product Features:

• Heavy-Wall Borosilicate Glass: Formulated with an extra-thick wall profile to deliver maximum physical durability, exceptional optical clarity, and structural resistance to implosion when used under vacuum.

• Precision Ground Glass Flanges: The interface between the lid and base features a wide, finely ground glass flange. When greased, it forms an absolute airtight seal to completely isolate the internal chamber from external humidity.

• Removable Interior Plate: Includes a durable, perforated porcelain plate that sits securely above the desiccant chamber, providing a stable, flat surface to support your crucibles, beakers, or Petri dishes.

⚠️ Safety and Handling: Always apply a thin layer of vacuum grease (such as silicone grease) to the ground glass flange before closing to ensure a proper seal and prevent the lid from jamming. Never lift the desiccator by the lid knob alone; always support the base of the vessel when transporting it. When opening a vacuum desiccator, release the vacuum slowly through the stopcock to prevent sudden air rushes from disturbing light chemical powders. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when working with hazardous compounds.
