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)

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: 24½" Length x 15½" Depth x 13½" Height (61.6 x 39.37 x 32.93 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
• 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

Vacuum Desiccators

All clear; Polycarbonate.

Features

• Large interior volume

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.
