Product Details
These high-quality vacuum desiccators are designed to stay gas-tight, ensuring reliable dry storage or experiments over extended periods. They maintain a vacuum of 29 in.-Hg for over 72 hours at room temperature, providing vacuum integrity that results in lower maintenance and greater peace of mind. Featuring a single-piece molded design (except for the door), these desiccators exhibit outstanding vacuum capability with minimal leakage and exceptional durability. The cabinet style maximizes usable space and allows for stacking. Equipped with a Viton® 3-way valve, the desiccators facilitate consistent and uniform vacuum draw, vacuum release, or gas exchange. An analog vacuum gauge on the front door allows for quick vacuum level checks. Constructed of transparent polycarbonate, these desiccators are durable, easy to clean, chemical-resistant, and provide quick visualization of contents. The amber-tinted UV-blocking models block 100% of UVA, B, and C light to minimize damage or discoloration of light-sensitive samples. The hinged door offers easy access, and built-in locking tabs secure the door when not under vacuum. Perforated shelves can be removed or repositioned to accommodate various storage needs (additional shelves sold separately), while built-in ports allow for the attachment of up to 3 additional valves (sold separately). The kit includes a desiccant tray (desiccants sold separately) and is compatible with any vacuum that has a free air capacity of 1.5 cubic feet per minute (CFM) or greater. The interior dimensions are 35.5 x 37.4 x 44.5 cm (14 x 14-3/4 x 17-1/2"), and the exterior dimensions are 42.0 x 39.7 x 49.1 cm (16-1/2 x 15-5/8 x 19-3/8").
