Auto-Desiccators - Vertical Cabinet
Dry-Keeper™
Non-Vacuum with Dial Hygrometer in Door, Electrically Operated
Vertical Cabinet
Made from clear methyl-methacrylate
(Acrylic), this auto-desiccator cabinet
features a permanent desiccant
contained in the control unit; therefore,
no desiccant tray is needed.
The cycle is indicated by a green light for
a 41⁄2 hours absorption period, or a red
light indicating 1⁄2 hour
regeneration
of the desiccant. This cabinet
will lower relative humidity to
30 - 40%
and it includes two adjustable
shelves. The unit draws 6
watts, 120 VAC.
The Unit measures overall:
121⁄2” Length x 151⁄2” Depth x
241⁄2” Height
(31.75 x 39.37 x 61.6 cm)
Horizontal Cabinet
The same construction and all features as the Vertical Cabinet but its
layout is horizontal. The generator unit is on the side. The overall unit
measures: 241⁄2” Length x 151⁄2” Depth x 131⁄2” Height
(61.6 x 39.37 x 32.93 cm)

Dry Keeper Plus™ Desiccator Cabinet; Non-Vacuum
- User-friendly electronic desiccant control
- One-touch door latch with silicone rubber door gasket
- Molded cabinet made from ABS plastic
Efficient dehumidification is monitored by a hygrometer dial in the door. The dehumidifying auto-drying unit has an air circulating system which helps drop relative humidity sharply through its cycling of absorption and regeneration of the enclosed permanent desiccant. It can bring the relative humidity down from 60% to 10% in 6 hours of continuous operation in an unloaded cabinet. The unit comes with three clear, removable shelves with vent holes which provide evenly spaced storage area. It operates on 110 volts, 60 Hz., 10 watts, and comes with a 2-prong 6 ft (2 meter) cord.
Overall measurement: 12.2" x 13.9" x 16.9" (310 x 353 x 430mm)

Glass Desiccators
Glass vacuum desiccators are versatile and are equipped with a sidearm for connection to a vacuum source. The contents of the sealed avacuated desiccators are maintained in a dry reduced pressure atmosphere. Dried materials are stored in desiccators while cooling in order to minimize the uptake of moisture.
- Hygroscopic materials should be stored in containers having tight fitting closures. Deliquescent samples are effervescent pharmaceuticals are prime examples.
Applications:
- Protection of hygroscopic and deliquescent samples.
- Prolonged storage at reduced pressure.
- Reactions at ambient temperatures.
- Anesthesia chamber for laboratory animals.
- Environmental studies.
- Storage of thin layer chromatograph plates.
- Determination of void content of aggregates and filters.
- Greaseless seal.
- Maximum vacuum of 27" Hg.
- Temperature range -15° to 80°C.
- De-aired the mixture.
Dry Seal® Vacuum Desiccators
