Micro-Tec Polycarbonate Vacuum Desiccators

Micro-Tec lightweight, polycarbonate desiccators are ideal for storing samples in a clean and moisture free environment. Shatterproof polycarbonate desiccators are much lighter and safer than glass desiccators.
They include an integrated vacuum gauge in the lid and venting/pumping valves both in the base and in the lid. The venting valve allows gentle venting to avoid disturbance of the stored samples. Beneath the white polypropylene storage plate there is ample space for a desiccant, needed to keep a moisture-free environment. The base of Micro-Tec desiccators includes a large diameter rim for added stability. The soft neoprene O-ring provides a vacuum seal which does not require grease. Micro-Tec polycarbonate vacuum desiccators can hold a vacuum level of 150mbar for over 3 weeks. The lid includes a large, ribbed knob for easy lifting and handling. Micro-Tec polycarbonate desiccators are available in two sizes: 150mm and 250mm diameter.
These Polycarbonate desiccators are also ideal for degassing of epoxies or resins; the two valves allow for precise adjusting of the vacuum level. Both the pumping speed and the venting speed can be controlled separately.
