About Aicil Desiccator 100mm
Dessicator with cover with suitable porcelain plate ( borosilicate glass) A desiccator is defined as a sealed container used to dehydrate substances or maintain them in an anhydrous state, typically over a water-absorbent chemical, and can be operated under vacuum conditions to enhance the dehydration process.
Superior Moisture Protection for Sensitive SamplesThe Aicil Desiccator 100mm protects your samples from ambient moisture, maintaining a dry environment necessary for stability and integrity. Its air-tight seal and vacuum capabilities efficiently guard against humidity, making it essential for drying and storing substances that are prone to moisture-induced degradation or contamination.
Durable Construction and Chemical ResistanceCrafted from robust borosilicate glass, this desiccator is resistant to most laboratory chemicals, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. Its clear, transparent structure allows easy visual inspection of specimens, while the high temperature tolerance expands its utility across various drying processes and sample preparations.
Effortless Handling and MonitoringA user-friendly lid with a blue knob and vacuum stopcock makes managing pressure and sealing simple. The included vacuum gauge provision via the stopcock allows precise environmental control. Its non-electric design ensures safe, flexible use wherever you need it, making sample handling reliable and convenient.
FAQ's of Aicil Desiccator 100mm:
Q: How do I use the Aicil Desiccator 100mm for drying laboratory samples?
A: To use the desiccator, place your samples on the porcelain plate inside the chamber, insert or connect a vacuum line to the stopcock if needed, then close the vacuum-tight lid securely. The air-tight ground glass or greased flange ensures a proper seal to remove or exclude moisture, making it suitable for drying and moisture-safe storage.
Q: What materials is the desiccator compatible with in terms of chemical resistance?
A: The desiccator is made from borosilicate glass and is highly resistant to most acids and alkalis, except hydrofluoric acid. This makes it ideal for use with a wide range of laboratory chemicals without risk of damage or contamination.
Q: When should I consider using a vacuum with this desiccator?
A: Apply a vacuum using the stopcock when you need to accelerate the drying process or ensure more rigorous moisture removal. The vacuum-tight design and gauge provision ensure you can control the internal pressure based on your sample's requirements.
Q: Where can this desiccator be used within the laboratory?
A: This desiccator is suitable for any laboratory setting that requires sample drying or protection from moisture. Its manual, non-electric operation and robust design provide flexibility for benchtop or storage room use without the need for external power sources.
Q: What is the process for monitoring samples inside the desiccator?
A: Thanks to its transparent borosilicate glass body, you can easily visually monitor your samples without opening the lid, maintaining the controlled interior environment and minimizing moisture entry during observation.
Q: What are the main benefits of choosing this desiccator for laboratory work?
A: Key benefits include secure, moisture-free storage, excellent chemical and thermal resistance, and an easy-to-use, non-electric design. The transparent body allows straightforward monitoring, while the vacuum-tight lid and stopcock bring enhanced control for critical procedures.
