Desiccators supplied by LabChoice Australia provide a controlled low humidity environment for drying samples, protecting hygroscopic chemicals and storing moisture sensitive materials across teaching, analytical and industrial laboratories. Available in BORO 3.3 borosilicate glass and high performance polypropylene, each unit is engineered for long term stability, reliability and safe handling of sensitive reagents. BORO 3.3 glass models comply with ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type 1 Class A standards, ensuring exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance and structural strength for demanding laboratory workflows.
Glass desiccators feature precision ground flanges that provide airtight sealing when used with vacuum grease or appropriate gaskets, supporting both atmospheric and vacuum desiccation. Their heavy walled construction delivers excellent resistance to pressure differentials and thermal cycling, making them suitable for vacuum drying, reagent protection and calibration standard storage. The transparent body allows full visibility of samples and desiccant material, supporting safe monitoring without disrupting internal conditions.
Polypropylene desiccators provide a lightweight, corrosion resistant alternative aligned with USP Class VI and ISO 10993 biocompatibility frameworks. Their chemical resistance and impact durability make them ideal for high throughput teaching laboratories and general storage tasks. The materials and performance expectations align with ASTM D4101 for polypropylene used in laboratory equipment. Many models incorporate polycarbonate domes, silicone or neoprene gasket systems and PTFE stopcocks suitable for negative pressure operation.
Desiccators are widely used in analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical QC, material testing, environmental laboratories and educational science programs. They support drying of solids, conditioning of samples prior to weighing, storage of hygroscopic reagents and long term preservation of moisture critical substances such as reference materials, salts and catalysts. Vacuum compatible models accelerate drying efficiency and protect thermally sensitive compounds through reduced temperature requirements.
Every desiccator supplied by LabChoice Australia undergoes ISO 9001 aligned quality control inspection. This includes dimensional verification, sealing integrity testing, gasket and stopcock performance evaluation, clarity assessment and structural stability checks under pressure. Glass units are tested for conformity with ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 thermal shock and chemical resistance expectations, while polypropylene models are assessed for compliance with USP Class VI, ISO 10993 and ASTM D4101 material performance. These rigorous measures ensure dependable, long lasting moisture protection for laboratories requiring controlled storage environments.
