Desiccator cabinets

Desiccators are designed for storing or drying humidity-sensitive products, using silica gel. The tight fitting door protects the contents from atmospheric contamination. The controlled environment inside the desiccators are ideal for storing reference materials, library samples, metallographic specimens, tobacco and DNA-samples.

Product advantages:

• Reinforced aluminium frame with acrylic panels (for Star-Vitrum made of Borosilicate glass 3.3)
• Door with magnetic catch and circular rubber seal
• Non-slip rubber feet
• Easy to read electronic digital hygrometer with temperature and humidity display
• Variable height shelves made of acrylic glass (for Star-Vitrum, Star-Big and Star-Auto-Big made of stainless steel)
• Telescopic shelves
• Raster and rails made metal-free PA/fiberglass
• Rails with level numbering

Gas filling Desiccators provide ideal conditions for the safe and secure storing of poisonous chemicals. An inert gas such as nitrogen can be introduced as soon as the door is closed tightly. Unlike the ambient air, the inert gas does not react with the stored substances. Includes four transparent acrylic shelves, positions for up to 26 shelves, hygrometer, tray, desiccant and tubing with quick coupling for gas filling and door lock.
