Internal volumes range from 11 to 45 litres with 2 to 6 shelves

Jeiotech of Korea has developed multi-storey cubic desiccators that overcome the space inefficiencies of traditional round desiccators.

Available in the UK from laboratory equipment specialist Medline Scientific of Chalgrove, Oxfordshire, the range comprises four multi-shelved stackable cubic desiccators made from transparent, non-corrosive and shatterproof polycarbonate. The internal volumes range from 11 to 45 litres with 2 to 6 shelves, significantly enhancing storage capacity.

Each unit has a full front door that uses a grease free airtight vacuum seal, which ensures that a vacuum of 1Torr over 72 hours is held.

A vacuum gauge is mounted on the top left hand side of the door while the three-way stopcock mounted on the left hand side of the chamber allows for the removal and replacement of the internal atmosphere.

Each unit is available in smoked acrylic to block UV light, which facilitates the safe storage of light sensitive products without the risk of discoloration.

Medline also offers traditional round-bottomed desiccators also made from polycarbonate, should this style be the preferred option.
