Description

We are excited to present to you our latest and greatest desiccator cabinet. This desiccator cabinet has the inside dimensions of 18 inch Wide, 18 inch Deep, and 18 inch High. This desiccator is fully assembled and ready to go. It comes with one fully removable perforated shelf, a digital hygrometer, two gas ports that are 1/4 inch NPT and plugged, and four door clamps. This is an air tight box which means that as soon as you close the door and engage the clamps, it becomes hermetically sealed.

We construct our desiccator cabinets the same way we construct any of our products which means that this desiccator box is robustly designed and quality manufactured to consistently perform and meet your needs. This dry box will enable you to store any component that requires dry storage such as anhydrous and hygroscopic biological and chemical compounds and electronic assemblies. It can be used for long term and short-term storage of laboratory samples. Desiccator cabinets will reduce humidity/oxygen within the box. Desiccators are air tight containers envisioned to store samples shielded from dust and contamination and/or in a low humidity and in some cases a low oxygen environment.

Please note that this desiccator is not intended to be pressurized, if you required a vacuum chamber or a pressure chamber click on the link. Also note that acrylic material is hygroscopic meaning that it will absorb and transport humidity. Say you are operating in a relatively high humidity environment (80%) and say that you bring the humidity inside this desiccator cabinet to below 20%. Due to the nature of acrylic, the humidity will travel through the walls and slowly increase the humidity until it gets to a steady state. If no further action is taken, the humidity inside the desiccator cabinet will equalize with the outside within a couple of hours. In order to keep the humidity at a certain level, you will have to monitor it or control it as we mentioned before, acrylic is hygroscopic.

Helium Leak Testing Systems
Helium Leak Testing Systems are instruments which detect leaks in specimen by detecting present of helium. Helium is used as a tracer gas to detect and quantify a leak. For example, a test specimen is filled with helium and placed into a test chamber, a vacuum is pulled and a helium mass spectrometer is connected to the test chamber. If helium is detected, it is due to the fact that it has escaped from the specimen through a leak path. Helium Leak Testing is a qualitative and quantitative method of detecting product leaks.
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps are utilized in environments where low noise, no oil mist emissions, low maintenance, and no product cross-contamination are required such as hospitals or labs.
Our Work: Chamber for Vacuum Extrusion System
This is a custom acrylic vacuum chamber build for a high volume manufacturer of parts which are fabricated using vacuum extrusion techniques. The challenge was to build a vacuum chamber system which mated on two perpendicular surfaces; on the bottom and on the rear of the chamber. This was accomplished by incorporating a double gasket mechanism on the bottom and incorporating a clamping mechanism on the rear.
Related Articles: High Altitude Package Testing utilizing an Acrylic Vac Chamber
An Acrylic Vacuum Chamber can be used to simulate elevation very reliably to altitudes up to 60.9 km or 200,000 feet. This provides several advantages over other testing methods as acrylic is transparent and enables full view of interior during testing. In this article, we will give you a through guide on what can be done to eliminate the risk of packaging damage during shipments at high altitudes.
