Desiccators are made of heavy, clear flint glass and have a ground domed cover with an integral knob. Covers provide a tight seal for the contents, and the domed cover provides some additional vertical space. These heavy glass units are used in the laboratory for drying samples or protecting them from moisture through the use of a Desiccant Cartridge placed in the lower compartment. A Desiccator Plate rests at the base of the upper compartment to provide support for the sample. Gilson’s selection of Desiccators includes 6, 8, or 10in (152, 203, or 254mm) models.
Desiccator plates, desiccant bags, and desiccant cartridges are purchased separately.
