Description

General description

The largest domed desiccator of its kind, offers 65 L (4,000 in.³), with space for items up to 18 in. tall or wide. It is useful for drying, cooling and degassing humidity-sensitive standards, halide salt cells used in IR spectrophotometers, Thin Layer Chromatography plates, electronics and other moisture-sensitive items. Handles interconnect to prevent displacement of the dome top when not under vacuum and also provides for the ability to lock the desiccator or for the placement of tamper evident seals. A molded-in ring allows the dome top to rest safely, inverted on the lab bench, when removed.

Safety locator pins prevent the top half from slipping off the bottom half when raising one side of the lid to add or remove samples. Two round polypropylene shelves 14.5 in. and 9 in. in diameter maximize storage capacity and can be lifted out for easy access. Will hold full vacuum (29 in. Hg, 737 mm) at room temperature for 24 hours and remain airtight even if not under vacuum. The desiccator gasket, with an application of vacuum grease, assures a tight seal down to 0°C.

The polypropylene stopcock has a PTFE plug that turns easily to allow a slow, turbulence free entrance of air which minimizes disturbance of contents. The stopcock has a high visibility red handle and accepts 1/4 in. I.D. tubing.

Not compatible with organic solvents and vapors
