What is desiccator cabinet?

A desiccator cabinet provides clean, dry storage to protect your sensitive materials from moisture exposure, ESD damage, and particle contamination. Portable desiccators, available in desiccant and gas-purge models, provide a compact storage solution that can be easily carried or stacked.

How is desiccator size measured?

For desiccators, the DN is based on the diameter of the sieve plate; this can be measured directly. For lids, measure the outside diameter of the flange and cross- reference with the tables on the product pages. Usage tips: Designed for use under absolute vacuum.

What is desiccator vacuum?

Sealable vessels for drying materials via the use of a drying agent and a stopcock/valve for rapid evacuation of air and moisture; available in a range of sizes and materials such as glass and plastic, including amber glass for light-sensitive materials.

How does a desiccator cabinet work?

Our desiccators are designed to lower the humidity level, down to 0% RH, inside a cabinet to prevent moisture from damaging the sample being stored. We achieve 0% RH by introducing a desiccant, Nitrogen (N2), into the chamber.

What is a desiccator used for?

Desiccators are sealable enclosures containing desiccants used for preserving moisture-sensitive items such as cobalt chloride paper for another use. A common use for desiccators is to protect chemicals which are hygroscopic or which react with water from humidity.

What does a high frequency desiccator do?

The high frequency desiccator provides many applications for dermatologists and specialty practice doctors, and is ideal for most skin procedures and topical applications. Clinicians are able treat benign or malignant lesions very effectively with the Desiccator by heating and drying tissue and coagulating the surface.

What are the types of desiccator?

The four basic types of desiccators are standard, automatic, gas purge and vacuum.

What is the function of desiccator?

Which chemical is used in desiccator?

The lower compartment of the desiccator contains lumps of silica gel, freshly calcined quicklime, Drierite or (not as effective) anhydrous calcium chloride to absorb water vapor. The substance needing desiccation is put in the upper compartment, usually on a glazed, perforated ceramic plate.

What is a desiccator used for in dermatology?

Among the modern electrosurgical tools available, the high frequency desiccator provides many applications for dermatologists and family physicians, most prominently for superficial skin procedures. This enables physicians to treat various malignant, pre-malignant or benign lesions in-office quickly and effectively.

What is a surgical Bovie?

A Bovie electrosurgical unit or battery operated cautery, enables surgeons to select the optimal instrument for a specific procedure, providing the greatest potential for a successful outcome.

What can be stored in a desiccator cabinet?

A desiccator cabinet provides clean, dry storage to protect your sensitive materials from moisture exposure, ESD damage, and particle contamination. Nitrogen desiccator cabinet configurations maintain low humidity environments down to 0% RH, making them ideal for micro-electronics, pharmaceutical, biological, and chemical storage.

Why do you need stainless steel desiccator cabinets?

Desiccator cabinets provide dry storage for critical low-humidity environment requirements. Even the brightly colored desiccator cabinets provide interior visibility for supervising sensitive samples without exposure. Stainless steel storage cabinets may come either fixed or adjustable in different quantities.

How is nitrogen purged from a desiccator cabinet?

Desiccator storage cabinets must be set up, so that appropriate nitrogen flows out all moisture- and contamination-laden air. Because nitrogen has lower specific gravity than air, it is introduced into the upper section of the desiccator; the inert gas is then purged out of the bottom.

What should relative humidity be in desiccator cabinets?

Description: The 120VAC (11 watt) electronic dehumidification system maintains relative humidity levels at 30 to 40% (cabinet interior rH% levels can differ depend… Description: Extra-large Scienceware® desiccator cabinets provide a low-humidity, dust-free environment for several large containers or a lot more small ones.
