Features:
Airtight container used to keep substances dry
Fitted with a lid that seals tightly to prevent moisture entry
Contains a compartment for desiccants like silica gel or anhydrous calcium chloride
Used to store moisture-sensitive materials or cool hot crucibles in a moisture-free environment
Maintains a low-humidity atmosphere inside
Common in labs handling hygroscopic chemicals or samples requiring dry storage
Transparent or opaque lid for visibility or light protection
Available in vacuum and non-vacuum types
Specifications:
Material: Borosilicate glass, polypropylene, or polycarbonate
Shape: Circular base with flanged rim and dome-shaped lid
Seal: Greased glass flange or rubber gasket for airtight seal
Desiccant chamber: Space at the bottom for drying agents
Sizes: Vary based on internal diameter (commonly 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, etc.)
Lid type: Plain for standard use or with stopcock for vacuum applications
Vacuum compatibility: Vacuum desiccators withstand reduced pressure using stopcocks and reinforced construction
Temperature resistance: High for glass; moderate for plastic
Sterilization: Glass types are autoclavable; plastic types depend on material
