Product Description
Silica gel is a highly effective desiccant used in laboratories to control humidity and prevent moisture damage. The self-indicating coarse variant from Qualigens changes color when saturated, making it easy to monitor its effectiveness. This 500gm pack is ideal for students, researchers, and educators who need reliable moisture absorption for experiments or storage.
Unlike regular silica gel, the self-indicating type turns from blue to pink as it absorbs moisture, signaling when it needs regeneration. It’s reusable—simply heat it to restore its drying capacity. Whether you’re preserving sensitive lab samples or maintaining dry conditions in equipment, this silica gel delivers consistent performance.
At eqipped, we ensure you get lab-grade supplies that meet strict quality standards. This silica gel is non-toxic and chemically inert, making it safe for most laboratory applications. It’s commonly used in desiccators, chromatography, and as a drying agent in chemical reactions.

FAQs
What is self-indicating silica gel used for?
Self-indicating silica gel is used to absorb moisture in labs, desiccators, and storage containers. The color change (blue to pink) helps track its saturation level.
How do I regenerate silica gel?
Heat the saturated silica gel in an oven at 120°C for 2-3 hours until it turns blue again. Let it cool before reuse.
Is silica gel safe for lab use?
Yes, lab-grade silica gel is non-toxic and chemically inert. However, avoid inhalation of dust and direct contact with eyes or skin.
Can I use silica gel for food storage?
This silica gel is lab-grade and not intended for food use. For food applications, use FDA-approved desiccants.
How much silica gel do I need for my lab?
The amount depends on the container size and humidity levels. A 500gm pack is suitable for small to medium desiccators or storage boxes.
