The Plas Labs Amber Acrylic Desiccator is a laboratory instrument designed for the storage of sensitive materials that require a moisture-free environment. Designed with practicality and efficiency in mind, here are some key features and benefits of amber acrylic desiccators:
-
Material: The amber acrylic construction provides a durable and lightweight option compared to traditional glass desiccators, while also offering UV protection for light-sensitive samples.
-
Desiccant Compatibility: These desiccators typically have a compartment for desiccants (like silica gel, activated alumina, or others), which help maintain a low humidity environment.
-
Visibility: The transparent or amber color allows for easy visibility of contents without having to open the unit, helping to minimize exposure to moisture when retrieving samples.
-
Sealing Mechanism: They often feature tightly sealing lids to minimize the ingress of moisture and preserve the contents for extended periods.
-
Size Variations: Amber acrylic desiccators come in various sizes, allowing for flexibility depending on storage needs, whether for laboratory samples, pharmaceuticals, or other sensitive materials.
-
Applications: Commonly used in biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical laboratories, they are suitable for storing reagents, powders, and other hygroscopic materials.
When using a desiccator, it's important to periodically check and replace the desiccant to ensure the humidity levels remain low. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific care and usage instructions.
