Description

The Desiccator Glass Vacuum is a heavy-duty laboratory vessel designed for controlled drying, storage, and moisture-sensitive handling under vacuum conditions. It is manufactured from thick, robust, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, providing excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, and long-term durability in demanding laboratory environments.

Equipped with a 2-way high-vacuum stopcock, the desiccator enables consistent and uniform vacuum draw and release, allowing precise pressure control during operation. The vacuum stopcock is capable of holding a maximum vacuum of 1 Torr for more than 24 hours, ensuring reliable performance for extended drying or storage periods.

The smooth, precision-ground body and lid flanges guarantee an airtight closure, minimizing vacuum loss and protecting samples from ambient moisture. The desiccator is supplied with a porcelain perforated desiccator plate, providing stable support and uniform air circulation around samples.

This vacuum desiccator is ideal for use in chemistry, pharmaceutical, research, and educational laboratories, where accurate moisture control and sample integrity are essential.
