Vacuum Desiccator 250mm plastic
Vacuum Desiccator 250mm plastic
Great drying abilities for jobs a plastic desiccator can’ t do!
A desiccator allows you to store equipment in a low-humidity atmosphere.
Each includes a glazed porcelain sample plate with a 5cm center hole that is held over the desiccant.
A Vacuum Desiccator is a sealed container used in laboratories to store and protect substances that are sensitive to moisture. It is designed to create a low-pressure environment by removing air and moisture from the container. The main components of a vacuum desiccator typically include a durable, airtight chamber with a removable lid, a desiccant (a drying agent) to absorb moisture, and a vacuum pump or vacuum source.
The desiccant is placed at the bottom of the desiccator, and the substance to be protected from moisture is placed on a shelf or platform above the desiccant. When the vacuum is applied, the air and moisture within the desiccator are removed, creating a dry environment. The desiccant helps to maintain this dry condition by absorbing any moisture that may enter the desiccator over time.
Vacuum desiccators are commonly used in scientific research, quality control, and other laboratory applications where the presence of moisture can adversely affect the stability or properties of substances. They are particularly useful for storing hygroscopic materials, which readily absorb moisture from the surrounding air.
