Desiccators - plastic

Cost effective alternative to glass desiccators. Highly transparent, lightweight, shatterproof, made of polycarbonate.
Silicon O-ring and specially designed "locking clip" allows use without grease and ensures an airtight seal. Flange lock holds the bottom and the lid together during non-vacuum conditions. Three-way stopcock provides great convenience for consistent vacuum draw, vacuum release or gas exchange e.g. inert gas. Maximum vacuum of 1.3mbar (1.3 x 10^-4 MPa) for more than 72 hours. Wide base provides superior stability. Hose connection outer diam. 9.5 mm.
Also available in brown with UV-blocking effect for light sensitive samples.
G Models will be delivered with a vacuum gauge.

Included in delivery: Drying agent tray, perforated sample tray, O-ring and flange locker.

With orange indicator colour. Grain size 1 to 3 mm or 2 to 5mm. Self-indicating drying agent free from any heavy metals and therefore environmentally compatible. The gel is naturally orange when active and at a 6 weight-% saturation level. As the gel adsorbs moisture, the colour changes into green.
The range of application is identical with that of white silica gel. The colour change, however, represents a great advantage since it allows monitoring of the saturation level. The gel can be regenerated when heated at a temperature of maximum 120 °C until it turns to its original orange colour.

Crystal clear, PC dome lid. PP. Lower section and desiccant tray. Venting stopper with non-return valve in lid. Polychlorbutadiene rubber (CK) O-ring seal between lid and base which is compressed when vacuum is applied. Lightweight and easy to use.

PP. For use at room temperature. Not suitable for use with hot crucibles.

Transparent PC bell and blue PP lower part. Will not break or implode under vacuum provided that the operating instructions are obeyed. Lower part is resistant to diluted acids, alkalis and other common desiccants. Vacuum connection at lower part. TFE stopcock is suitable for vacuum tubing 6.4mm i.d. For air tight sealing it is sufficient to grease sealing surface a little. No additional sealing ring is necessary. The additional rim at the bell prevents grease stains on lab benches.

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