Desiccators

Acrylic Desiccators

Clear and Light Sensitive Units. Our Desiccators are designed to protect, store, or assist in transporting critical materials and prevent their contamination. They are dust and moisture free cabinets that safeguard valuable research specimens or sensitive electronic components. You may easily observe the status of your components without opening the door.

Under a slight positive N2 charge they prevent moisture from penetrating the molecular structure of stored components. Amber colored units “CGA” are very effective for protection from harmful U.V. rays for light sensitive components. 

NOTE: #861-CG and #861-CGA doors open from the side. All other models open from the top and bottom.

Standard Features of the Desiccators:

  • Units are all stackable with non-slip “grip tight” feet.
  • Standardized construction means interchangeable shelves.
  • All shelves have perforated slots (holes) for optimum gas circulation.
  • All Desiccators with two or more cubicles have a built in divider for added strength.
  • Units are constructed of optically clear “jeweled” acrylic.
  • Slip-a-part hinges are standard.
  • Sealing clamps are springloaded for uniform locking tension.
  • Built in hygrometer (Rh) gauge.
  • All units have “door guards” to prevent warping and possible loss of internal atmosphere.
  • Closed cell gasketing does not take a set.
  • Special “gasket guard system” prevents gaskets from taking a set and causing a leak.
  • Each cubicle includes two (2) Nylon gas serrated nipples 1/8” & 1/4”  (90 degree elbows with hose barbs).

Multiple Cubicle Desiccators

These multiple cubicle desiccator storage cabinets are much safer than individually stacked units. All of these storage units are mounted on stainless steel support carts (trolleys) with casters and remain stable during transportation. Transparent amber colored units provide U.V. protection for light sensitive materials. Three (3) standard sizes are available and custom fabrication is welcomed.

Benefits of the storage cabinets:

  • Complete visibility of stored contents.
  • Unitized construction eliminates “tip overs”.
  • Safe air tight storage of critical components.
  • U.V. degradation is eliminated using amber units.
  • Easy to transport from lab to lab.
  • Ideal for Clean Room applications.
  • Moisture sensitivity problems are eliminated.

NOTE: Interior dimensions of all cubicles are 23.5” x 23.5” x 11.75” h (596 mm x 596 mm x 298 mm h). All door openings are 22.50” x 9.25” h (570 mm x 235 mm h).

What’s included with desiccator storage cabinet:

  • Standard 24 month warranty.
  • Clear or amber models.
  • Unitized construction for greater durability and strength.
  • Two (2) shelves with slots included per cubicle
  • Two (2) Nylon gas nipples included per cubicle.
  • Stainless steel support frames (trolleys) with casters, brakes and locks.
  • Interior volume of each individual cubicle is 3.8 Cu. Ft (107 L).
  • Closed cellular (one piece) gasket.
  • All doors have “anti-warp” framework and heavy duty “swell” latches.
  • Exterior rear plenum with flow meter.

We are pleased to offer various sizes of heavy duty stainless steel desiccator cabinets. These units are constructed of highly polished #304 stainless steel and feature unitized construction. We have over fifty (50) years experience building thermoplastic desiccators. This knowledge is now put to use in our stainless steel units.

They are ideal when gathering samples in the field, or just moving materials safely from lab to lab. They are unbreakable.  We welcome custom sizes and you may choose either safety glass or static dissipative plastic viewing panels on the doors. Sensitive Flow Meters and other accessories such as grounding features are available.

Stainless Steel units include:

  • Standard 24 month warranty.
  • Constructed of 16 Gauge, 304 stainless steel.
  • Full length stainless steel hinge.
  • Adjustable stainless steel sealing clamps.
  • Safety glass front viewing panel.
  • Adjustable shelf positions.
