Desiccators from LabChoice Australia are engineered to deliver reliable moisture protection for sensitive samples across teaching, analytical and industrial environments. Available in both borosilicate glass and polypropylene constructions, each unit provides a controlled low humidity chamber suitable for drying solids, storing hygroscopic reagents, preserving calibration standards and protecting moisture sensitive chemicals. The range supports routine laboratory workflows while offering clarity, durability and sealing performance for long term use.

Glass desiccators supplied by LabChoice Australia are manufactured from BORO 3.3 glass that meets ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type 1 Class A specifications. This provides outstanding thermal stability, chemical resistance and structural integrity during repeated heating and cooling cycles. Heavy walled designs, precision ground flanges and well fitted lids ensure dependable sealing when used with vacuum grease or appropriate gaskets. These features make them suitable for laboratories that require high visibility and long service life under atmospheric or vacuum conditions.

Polypropylene desiccators offer a lighter, corrosion resistant option for routine laboratory tasks. They incorporate high clarity PP and polycarbonate dome assemblies suited for teaching laboratories, general material storage and everyday drying applications where reduced weight and impact resistance are advantageous. Vacuum capable models include PTFE plug stopcocks, silicone or neoprene gaskets and reinforced chambers designed to maintain negative pressure for extended periods. Comparable manufacturers such as Polylab use similar PP and PC technologies, and LabChoice Australia supports this with enhanced material traceability and batch level validation to ensure consistent and reliable performance.

Polypropylene used in laboratory environments is benchmarked against recognised safety and biocompatibility standards. These include USP Class VI guidelines for low biological reactivity and ISO 10993 testing frameworks that evaluate cytotoxicity, irritation and sensitisation potential. Both standards are widely applied when assessing high purity polymers for scientific and medical use. Polypropylene also aligns with RoHS directives from the European Commission because it naturally contains no restricted heavy metals or hazardous additives. These benchmarks support the safety, stability and functional suitability of polypropylene used in desiccator construction.

Every desiccator supplied by LabChoice Australia is evaluated under quality control protocols aligned with ISO 9001. This includes leak testing, gasket sealing assessment, dimensional verification and functional inspection of valves or stopcocks. Vacuum models undergo pressure retention testing with gauges that are calibrated and traceable to recognised metrology standards. Each unit is inspected for clarity, mechanical strength, surface finish and sealing reliability before final packing.

Designed for school laboratories, universities, quality control facilities and industrial research settings, LabChoice desiccators provide dependable moisture protection supported by certified material suitability and rigorous technical verification.
