Superior Moisture Control for LaboratoriesThe borosilicate glass desiccator is engineered for high-precision moisture control, crucial in maintaining sample integrity during drying or storage. Its airtight seal and non-reactive materials ensure samples are protected from humidity and chemical interactions, making it an essential apparatus for any laboratory focusing on quality assurance and methodological consistency.
Durable and Easy MaintenanceDesigned for long-term use, this desiccator is built with robust materials, ensuring resistance to most laboratory chemicals and mechanical shocks. The removable porcelain plate simplifies cleaning and sample handling, while the sleek, glossy finish enhances both visibility and ease of maintenanceall factors that contribute to efficient laboratory workflows.
FAQs of Desiccator:
Q: How do I use the desiccator for drying samples?
A: To dry samples, place them on the removable porcelain plate inside the desiccator. Close the lid with the ground flange and knob, ensuring the silicone/grease seal is secure. In vacuum models, connect a vacuum pump to the port and evacuate air to accelerate drying. Monitor samples through the transparent body without opening the desiccator.
Q: What benefits does the borosilicate glass provide?
A: Borosilicate glass offers enhanced thermal resistance (up to 250C) and durability. It is non-reactive and chemically robust, ensuring that your samples are not exposed to contaminants or structural deformations from most laboratory chemicals.
Q: When should I use the vacuum port feature?
A: Utilize the vacuum port when you require accelerated moisture removal. This is especially useful for sensitive samples that demand rapid, controlled drying under reduced atmospheric pressure, thus preventing sample degradation.
Q: Where is this desiccator suitable for use?
A: This desiccator is suitable for varied laboratory environments including chemical, biological, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories. Its standard compliance and easy compatibility with laboratory protocols make it versatile for professional laboratory settings.
Q: What is the maintenance process for this desiccator?
A: After use, remove samples and gently wash the borosilicate glass and porcelain plate with laboratory-grade cleaning agents. The glossy finish and detachable plate facilitate easy cleaning. Periodically check the silicone/grease seal to maintain airtight performance.
Q: What are the main applications and capacity range?
A: This desiccator is primarily designed for moisture absorption, sample drying, and safeguarding sensitive materials. With a capacity of approximately 2 liters, it accommodates small to medium batches, making it ideal for standard laboratory operations.
