Desiccator Vacuum VS AS ONE Model 1-070-01 Compact 15.75×14.96×10.24in

Description

Product Overview

The AS ONE Desiccator Vacuum VS (model 1-070-01) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratory environments. Constructed from high‑quality borosilicate glass, the chamber offers superior chemical resistance and visual clarity, allowing users to monitor sample conditions without opening the unit. The integrated vacuum port enables rapid evacuation of moisture, creating a low‑humidity environment essential for preserving sensitive reagents, catalysts, and biological specimens.

Measuring 15.75 x 14.96 x 10.24 inches and weighing approximately 20.94 pounds, this compact desiccator fits comfortably on standard lab benches while providing ample interior volume for a variety of sample sizes. The robust stainless‑steel sealing gasket ensures an airtight closure, preventing ingress of ambient moisture and contaminants. The vacuum connection is compatible with standard laboratory vacuum pumps, offering flexibility in setup and operation.

Designed with user safety and convenience in mind, the unit includes a pressure‑relief valve to prevent over‑pressurization and a transparent lid with a secure latch mechanism. The clear glass construction also facilitates easy cleaning and inspection, reducing downtime between experiments. Whether used for drying powders, storing hygroscopic chemicals, or maintaining a controlled atmosphere for delicate biological samples, this desiccator delivers consistent performance and reliability.

Usage

In a typical laboratory setting, the AS ONE Vacuum Desiccator is employed for a range of applications, from drying organic solvents to preserving moisture‑sensitive enzymes. Researchers in chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science can place their samples inside the chamber, engage the vacuum pump, and achieve rapid moisture removal within minutes. The compact footprint allows the desiccator to be positioned alongside other critical equipment such as balances, fume hoods, and analytical instruments.

For routine maintenance, the transparent lid provides a clear view of the interior, enabling quick visual checks without disturbing the vacuum seal. The unit’s durable construction withstands repeated cycles of evacuation and venting, making it suitable for high‑throughput workflows. Additionally, the desiccator can be integrated into controlled‑environment protocols, where precise humidity levels are required for reproducible experimental outcomes.

When used in educational laboratories, the AS ONE desiccator serves as an excellent teaching tool, demonstrating fundamental principles of vacuum technology, moisture control, and material stability. Its straightforward operation and safety features, such as the pressure‑relief valve, ensure that students can conduct experiments safely under supervision.

FAQ

What size samples can the desiccator accommodate?

The interior dimensions allow for a variety of sample containers, including standard glass beakers, petri dishes, and custom trays. Typical sample heights up to 8 inches can be placed without compromising the vacuum seal.

Is the desiccator compatible with all vacuum pumps?

Yes, the vacuum port follows standard laboratory fittings, making it compatible with most bench‑top and floor‑mounted vacuum pumps. Adapters are available if a specific pump requires a different connection size.

How often should the sealing gasket be replaced?

Under normal laboratory use, the gasket maintains its performance for several years. We recommend inspecting the gasket annually and replacing it if you notice any loss of seal integrity or visible wear.

Can the desiccator be used for temperature‑controlled drying?

While the unit itself does not provide heating, it can be placed inside a temperature‑controlled oven or incubator, provided the temperature does not exceed the glass rating (typically up to 250 °C). Always ensure the vacuum connections are compatible with the chosen environment.

What safety features are included?

The desiccator includes a pressure‑relief valve to prevent over‑pressurization, a secure latch to keep the lid closed during operation, and a transparent lid for visual monitoring without breaking the seal.
