Plastic Non-Vacuum Desiccators
Manufacturer: United Scientific
Description
Each desiccator features a dual-material architecture engineered for rigorous laboratory environments. The opaque white bottom base is molded from premium polypropylene (PP) to deliver excellent chemical resistance against aggressive desiccating agents, acids, and bases. The upper dome is crafted from crystal-clear polycarbonate (PC), providing a panoramic 360-degree view of your internal samples without disrupting the internal atmosphere. Every unit comes bundled with a matching perforated, removable plastic desiccator plate that fits precisely onto the internal support shelf ledge, completely isolating your samples from the lower desiccant media bed.
Key Functional Benefits:
- Shatterproof Co-Polymer Build: The rugged PP and PC construction prevents catastrophic structural failures, offering complete workplace safety compared to heavy, easily cracked glass alternatives
- Panoramic Sample Visibility: The clear polycarbonate dome lid allows technicians to check internal color-indicating silica gels or evaluate sample changes without breaking the airtight seal
- Fully Autoclavable Components: Both the base and cover can withstand standard steam sterilization cycles (121°C), making this chamber ideal for biological assays and cleanroom environments
- Included Matching Desiccator Plate: Arrives fully equipped with a custom-fit, perforated plate, providing an immediate sample platform out of the box
Airtight Joint Maintenance: To achieve an absolute, hermetic seal that isolates samples from external humidity, operators must apply a thin, uniform layer of premium silicone stopcock grease to the ground flange rims before mating the lid to the base. When opening, gently slide the dome lid horizontally rather than pulling up vertically.
