Product Description
When ambient drying is too slow, pulling a vacuum speeds moisture removal and keeps air away from sensitive materials. This vacuum desiccator gives you a sealed glass chamber with a valve for evacuating and venting. It is well suited to drying samples, storing moisture-sensitive materials and degassing small quantities.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 31200-200: Vacuum Desiccator, 200 mm. It includes a solid glass lid with a collar valve, a metal plate and a recessed base for desiccant. The vessel is made from soda-lime glass meeting USP Type III and ASTM E438, Type II requirements. It is offered in 150, 200 and 250 mm diameters. Lightly grease the flange before use and vent slowly when releasing the vacuum. LIGHT LABS ships genuine DWK Life Sciences products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
