Glass desiccators supplied by LabChoice Australia are engineered for long term stability, high chemical resistance and dependable moisture control in analytical, research and teaching laboratories. Constructed from BORO 3.3 borosilicate glass, each desiccator meets ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type 1 Class A specifications, ensuring strong thermal performance and dimensional accuracy during repeated heating and cooling cycles. The heavy wall design and precision ground flanges create a uniform sealing surface that supports secure atmospheric or vacuum operation when paired with suitable grease or gaskets. The transparent chamber allows clear observation of samples, drying agents and internal humidity conditions without interrupting the drying process.
These glass desiccators are commonly used for drying hygroscopic chemicals, preserving standards, conditioning samples prior to weighing, stabilising sensitive materials and protecting moisture reactive substances. Their stability under temperature variation makes them suitable for laboratories that perform gravimetric analysis, organic synthesis, quality control processes and environmental monitoring. When equipped with vacuum compatible lids and stopcocks, they provide enhanced drying efficiency through reduced pressure, allowing low temperature moisture removal and improved control over drying kinetics. This makes vacuum glass desiccators an essential tool for analytical workflows where minimal thermal degradation or sample disturbance is required.
Each unit undergoes ISO 9001 aligned quality control procedures, including dimensional verification, clarity inspection, leak assessment and surface finish checks. Vacuum models are tested for pressure retention using gauges calibrated to recognised metrology standards to confirm long term sealing integrity. The durability of BORO 3.3 glass also ensures strong resistance to acids, solvents and laboratory reagents, supporting consistent performance across extended operational cycles. Combined with their mechanical strength and reliability, LabChoice Australia glass desiccators offer a high standard of protection for laboratories requiring stable environmental control of sensitive samples.
