Dessicator With Lid (vacuum)

What is it?

A Vacuum Desiccator is a heavy-duty glass bowl used to remove moisture from samples or to store chemicals that must stay completely dry. Unlike a standard desiccator, this version features a vacuum stopcock (valve) on the lid. By connecting a vacuum pump, you can remove the air from inside, which speeds up the drying process and creates a superior, moisture-free environment for your sensitive materials.

Key Features and Benefits

• Extra-Thick Borosilicate Glass: Manufactured with heavy walls to safely withstand the pressure of a vacuum without the risk of implosion.
• Precision-Ground Flanges: The wide rim of the bowl and the lid are ground to a flat, smooth finish to ensure an airtight seal when a small amount of vacuum grease is applied.
• Integrated Vacuum Stopcock: The lid is fitted with a high-quality glass or PTFE stopcock that allows for easy connection to vacuum tubing and precise control of air removal.
• High Chemical Resistance: Both the glass body and the internal plate are resistant to corrosive desiccants like silica gel or calcium chloride.
• Crystal Clear Observation: The high-transparency glass allows you to monitor your samples and the condition of the desiccant at all times.

Available Sizes (Inside Diameter)

Our Vacuum Desiccators are available in standard laboratory diameters: 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, and 300mm. Each set includes the base bowl, the vacuum lid, and a perforated porcelain plate.

Safety Commitment: Every Vacuum Desiccator is meticulously annealed to remove internal stress and pressure-tested to ensure it meets rigorous safety standards for vacuum applications in the laboratory.
