Product Details
These high-quality vacuum desiccators are designed to provide reliable dry storage or experiments over extended periods due to their gastight construction, maintaining a 29 in.-Hg vacuum for over 72 hours at room temperature. The single-piece molded design (except for the door) ensures outstanding vacuum capability with minimal leakage, enhancing durability. The cabinet style maximizes usable space and allows for stacking. A Viton® 3-way valve enables consistent vacuum draw, vacuum release, or gas exchange, while an analog vacuum gauge on the front door facilitates easy monitoring of vacuum levels. Constructed from durable, chemical-resistant transparent polycarbonate, these desiccators offer quick visualization of contents. For enhanced protection, amber tinted UV blocking models effectively block 100% of UVA, B, and C light, minimizing damage to light-sensitive samples. The hinged door provides easy access, with built-in locking tabs for secure closure when not under vacuum. Perforated shelves can be repositioned or removed to fit various storage needs, and built-in ports allow for the attachment of up to three additional valves (sold separately). Each desiccator 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 product line features eight different models with internal volumes of 11, 23, 35, and 45 liters, available in either clear or UV blocking amber options.
