General description

Nalgene vacuum desiccators have a transparent polycarbonate (PC) cover and polypropylene (PP) base which will not shatter or implode at full vacuum when used according to instructions packed with the product. The desiccator body is impervious to all solid desiccants, including acids and alkalies. Do not use concentrated acids as desiccants. Straight-bore design eliminates stopcock leakage. No gaskets are necessary, and no need to draw a vacuum to make cover airtight - only grease is needed. Recessed rim on cover keeps grease off bench-top when cover is set down. Desiccator takes any standard 230 mm desiccator plate such as Z360422. The plate for the large size is sold separately.

Clear body Not compatible with organic solvents or vapors. Removable stopcock accepts 1/8 to 1/4 in. I.D. tubing. Holds a vacuum of 28 in. Hg (711 mm) for 24 hours. Room temperature use only. TPE caps seal side-arms for non-vacuum use. Max clearance above plate: 195 mm
