The Vacuum Glass Desiccator is a laboratory drying and storage vessel used for protecting moisture-sensitive samples, chemicals, papers, and prepared materials from atmospheric humidity. It is suitable for school laboratories, college chemistry labs, analytical laboratories, science departments, distributors, and institutional procurement buyers.

Product Description

Vacuum Glass Desiccator from School Equipments India is based on the verified official listing for a glass desiccator. The listed model is made from borosilicate glass and supplied in knob-type form with a perforated ceramic disc for supporting samples above the desiccant chamber.

The verified School Equipments India listing specifies a 213 mm lid diameter, 140 mm disc diameter, and 210 mm base diameter. The product is described as useful for protecting moisture-sensitive items such as cobalt chloride paper. Vacuum stopcock, vacuum grease requirement, gasket arrangement, pressure rating, and pump compatibility should be confirmed before publishing or using the model as a vacuum desiccator.

Key Features

How to Use the Vacuum Glass Desiccator

1. Inspect the desiccator body, lid, rim, and ceramic disc for cracks, chips, or contamination.
2. Place a compatible desiccant in the lower chamber as specified by the laboratory SOP.
3. Position the perforated ceramic disc securely above the desiccant chamber.
4. Place cooled or slightly warm samples on the disc without touching the glass wall.
5. Apply suitable grease to the ground rim only if the laboratory method requires sealing.
6. Place the lid carefully and avoid sliding or striking glass against glass.
7. Use vacuum only if the supplied model has a confirmed stopcock and vacuum rating.
8. Open the desiccator slowly and release any pressure difference safely before removing samples.

Safety note: Do not use vacuum unless the model is confirmed vacuum-rated. Always wear eye protection, keep the desiccator behind a shield for vacuum work, and never use cracked or chipped glassware.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the ground rim clean because dust, grease build-up, or chips can affect sealing.
• Replace or regenerate desiccant according to the laboratory SOP and indicator condition.
• Clean the ceramic disc carefully without forcing tools through the perforations.
• Store the lid and base together in a protected cabinet to prevent rim damage.
