Why Choose a Borosilicate Desiccator from eqipped?

Use Cases

• Moisture-Sensitive Sample Storage – Keeps hygroscopic or light-sensitive materials dry and protected.

• Low-Heat Drying – Acts as a passive drying chamber for delicate samples without the use of heat. Vacuum Desiccation – Vacuum models are perfect for accelerated removal of water vapor under reduced pressure.

• Cooling & Storage Post-Oven Drying – Allows cooled, dry samples to remain moisture-free during handling.

FAQs

Q1. What does “borosilicate” glass provide over standard glass?
Borosilicate 3.3 glass offers outstanding resistance to thermal shock and chemical degradation compared to soda-lime glass.

Q2. What are the types of desiccators available?
Two main types: standard airtight model with a porcelain plate, and vacuum-capable model with a stopcock for controlled air release.

Q3. How does a vacuum desiccator work?
A vacuum is created using a pump through the stopcock, which removes air and moisture. The stopcock allows smooth repressurization without disturbing samples.

Q4. Can I use this after drying samples in an oven?
Yes—this desiccator is excellent for cooling and storing oven-dried samples without moisture exposure.

Q5. What holds the samples inside?
A ceramic or porcelain plate that sits on an internal ledge provides a stable platform for samples or desiccant.

Q6. Is it compliant with Indian and international standards?
Yes—desiccators follow Indian standard IS 6128, and borosilicate glass meets ASTM/USP Type I requirements.

Q7. What are common sizes?
Available sizes include at least 150 mm, 200 mm, and 250 mm in diameter, subject to availability.

Q8. Can I open the desiccator safely during experiments?
Yes. Open gently to avoid moisture intrusion, and re-grease the seal if needed to maintain airtight conditions.
