Product Description
Keeping hygroscopic samples, crucibles and reagents dry is simple with a sealed glass chamber that opens easily. This desiccator uses a top knob with a plastic screw-thread cap, giving you a firm grip for lifting the cover. It is a staple for storing dried samples, cooling crucibles and protecting moisture-sensitive reagents.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 31050-200: Desiccator, 200 mm. The soda-lime glass body has a recessed base that holds desiccant beneath the included metal plate. Desiccators come in 150, 200 and 250 mm sizes, and matching replacement lids with knobs are sold separately in each size. Grease the flange lightly to improve the seal. Recharge or replace the desiccant regularly so it keeps absorbing moisture. LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.
