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 4½ hours absorption period, or a red light indicating ½ hour regeneration of the desiccant. This cabinet will lower relative humidity to 30-40%.
Includes two adjustable shelves.
The unit draws 6 watts, 120 VAC.
The unit measures overall: 12½" Length x 15½" Depth x 24½" Height (31.75 x 39.37 x 61.6 cm)

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

Mini Vacuum Desiccator
- Ideal for Small Samples
- Degassing Embedding mixtures
The top part of the desiccator is clear, molded from polycarbonate and see-through from any angle. A polyethylene stopcock with a "PTFE" plug allows for gentle releasing of the vacuum. A peripheral flange around the polypropylene bottom section fits into and snap locks therefore sealing the two halves against a "O" ring. Vacuum retention rating is 740 mm Hg (29"). Inside dimensions are 102 mm (4") diameter x 59 mm (2 7/16") high. The base is 175 mm (6⅞") diameter.

Reusable / Disposable Desiccant Cartridge
These desiccant cartridges can be used in desiccator cabinets or non-vacuum desiccators, analytical balance cases, and precision laboratory instruments. The clear polystyrene dish allows for instant visual inspection of the silica gel color which changes from blue to pale pink as it absorbs moisture.
A highly porous membrane covers the dish of the desiccant providing good moisture absorption. The desiccant can be regenerated by heating cartridges in an oven at 50°C (122°F) overnight. For rapid drying, cut the membrane and transfer the spent gel crystal into a glass or porcelain dish. Then place it in a 150°C (302°F) oven for one hour.
The silica gel is inert and non-toxic. Each cartridge is individually sealed in aluminum foil. Dispose of the cartridges after repeated use. Cartridges come in two sizes: Small: 2½" (65 mm) diameter and Large: 4" (100 mm) diameter.

Desiccant Canister - Reusable
Ideal for dry control of desiccator cabinets. Moisture is absorbed through the perforations in the aluminum case, which contains silica gel. This 2x4" canister maintains a safe level of humidity in 3 cu. ft (0.8 cu. meter) area. When the monitor window turns pink, the silica gel is saturated. It can be regenerated in a 300°F (150°C) oven in about 3 hours. The monitor window will be blue in color when recharged.

Desiccant in a Cartridge
Regenerates Repeatedly without Degradation
These cartridges fit into the bottom of a standard glass or plastic desiccator. The cartridge consists of a durable long wearing polyester felt bag with a perforated Mylar cover sealed in place. The indicating gel beads will change their color from blue when dry to pink when moist. Saturated gel can be regenerated in a 150°C (300°F) vented oven for 3 hours or more (depending on size), until the blue color is restored. Cartridges come individually sealed in a moisture-proof pouch ready to use.

Vacuum Pressure Indicator
This Vacuum-Pressure Indicator fits between the desiccator dome and the desiccator stopcock. Its slips easily onto the tapered outlet of the desiccator dome and into the standard desiccator stopcock without requiring any tools.. The thermo-plastic elastometer collapses when there is negative pressure vacuum in the desiccator and expands under ambient atmospheric pressure.
