Product Details
These high-quality vacuum desiccators are designed to stay gastight, allowing for reliable dry storage or experiments over extended periods. They can maintain a 29 in.-Hg vacuum for over 72 hours at room temperature, providing vacuum integrity that results in lower maintenance. The VITON® 3-way valve ensures consistent and uniform vacuum draw, vacuum release, or gas exchange. Vacuum level checking is simplified through a built-in analog vacuum gauge located at the top of the unit. A high-quality silicone O-ring and specially designed locking ring enable outstanding vacuum capability with virtually no leakage. The amber tinted UV blocking models effectively block 100% of UVA, B, and C light to minimize damage or discoloration of light-sensitive samples. The transparent polycarbonate construction is durable, easy to clean, chemical-resistant, and allows for quick visualization of the desiccator contents. The locking ring secures the top and bottom halves when vacuum is not in use, providing additional convenience and safety when moving the unit. The kit includes a desiccant tray; desiccants are sold separately. These desiccators can be used with any vacuum system that has a free air capacity of 1.5 cubic feet per minute (CFM) or greater. There are six models available, offering 6, 10, and 20 liter internal volumes in either clear or UV blocking amber options.
