Plain desiccators are physically identical to vacuum desiccators except for the absence of a stopcock. They are designed for use at atmospheric pressure only and cannot be evacuated. Vacuum desiccators include a stopcock that allows connection to a vacuum source for removing air from the desiccator. Plain desiccators are more economical and suitable for applications where vacuum is not required.
To create an airtight seal, apply a thin, even layer of laboratory vacuum grease to the ground flange surfaces where the dome meets the base. Place the dome onto the base and rotate gently to distribute the grease evenly and create a continuous seal. The grease fills any microscopic imperfections and prevents moisture-laden air from entering the desiccator.
Use standard laboratory vacuum grease or silicone grease specifically designed for glass and plastic desiccators. These greases are formulated to create airtight seals, resist chemical attack, and remain stable over time. Avoid using general-purpose lubricants that may not provide adequate sealing or could contaminate samples.
These plain desiccators are available in five diameters: 150mm (Code 55201), 200mm (Code 55202), 250mm (Code 55203), 300mm (Code 55208), and 380mm (Code 55209). The size refers to the internal diameter, which determines sample capacity and desiccant plate size.
Yes, these plain desiccators are fully autoclavable. The polypropylene base and polycarbonate dome can withstand standard autoclaving temperatures (121°C). However, remove any grease before autoclaving, as it may melt or degrade. After autoclaving, allow the desiccator to cool completely before reapplying fresh grease and reassembling.
No, plain desiccators do not have the necessary port or reinforcement for adding a stopcock. Attempting to modify a plain desiccator for vacuum use could result in failure under vacuum and potential implosion. If you need vacuum capability, please purchase our dedicated vacuum desiccator models with factory-installed stopcocks.
Regrease whenever you notice the seal is no longer airtight, if the grease becomes contaminated, dried out, or after each thorough cleaning. With regular use and proper maintenance, regreasing every few months is typical. Always inspect the seal before placing valuable samples inside.
Disassemble the desiccator by removing the dome. Remove old grease with a soft cloth and appropriate solvent (such as hexane or acetone) if needed. Wash all components with warm water and mild laboratory detergent. Rinse thoroughly with distilled water. Clean polycarbonate surfaces with soft cloths to avoid scratching. Allow all components to air dry completely before reapplying fresh grease and reassembling.
These plain desiccators are supplied individually, with one piece per pack for all five sizes (55201, 55202, 55203, 55208, and 55209). This allows you to order exactly the size and quantity needed for your laboratory.
