Description
Product Overview
The Azzota Round Vacuum Desiccator with vacuum gauge is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratory environments. Constructed from high‑impact polycarbonate, the 2 L chamber offers exceptional durability while maintaining optical clarity for easy visual inspection of contents. The internal diameter of 6 inches (150 mm) and internal height of 5 inches (135 mm) provide ample space for a wide range of samples, from small vials to larger apparatuses. Integrated directly into the lid is a calibrated vacuum gauge that displays pressure levels from atmospheric down to –0.1 MPa, enabling users to monitor and maintain the desired vacuum without the need for external instrumentation. A two‑way valve and a 3⁄8‑inch (8‑9 mm) tubing nozzle facilitate rapid evacuation and precise control of the internal atmosphere. The silicone O‑ring seal is engineered for long‑term leak‑proof performance, ensuring that vacuum pressure loss remains under 5 % over a 30‑day period. Temperature tolerance ranges from –40 °C to 120 °C, allowing the desiccator to be used in a variety of thermal processes, including drying, degassing, and low‑temperature storage.

Usage
This vacuum desiccator is ideally suited for applications across chemistry, biology, materials science, and industrial research. In chemical synthesis labs, it can be employed to dry hygroscopic reagents, protect moisture‑sensitive compounds, and facilitate solvent removal under reduced pressure. Biological laboratories benefit from its ability to preserve cell cultures, reagents, and assay plates by maintaining a controlled low‑humidity environment. Materials researchers use the desiccator for preparing polymer films, drying nanomaterials, and conducting low‑temperature annealing processes. The robust polycarbonate construction tolerates repeated handling and cleaning with standard laboratory solvents, while the built‑in gauge simplifies routine checks during long‑term experiments. The device’s compact footprint fits comfortably on standard bench tops, and the 3⁄8‑inch tubing connection integrates seamlessly with most laboratory vacuum pumps, making it a versatile addition to any lab’s equipment inventory.

FAQ
What is the maximum temperature the desiccator can withstand?
The desiccator is rated for continuous operation from –40 °C up to 120 °C, making it suitable for both low‑temperature drying and moderate‑heat applications.
Can the built‑in gauge be calibrated after purchase?
Yes, the gauge can be recalibrated by authorized service technicians if higher precision is required for specific experimental protocols.
Is the silicone O‑ring replaceable?
Absolutely. The O‑ring is designed for easy replacement, and spare parts are available through Azzota’s service network.
What vacuum level can be achieved with a standard laboratory pump?
When connected to a typical rotary vane or diaphragm pump, the desiccator can reliably reach pressures down to –0.1 MPa, which is sufficient for most drying and degassing tasks.
How do I clean the interior of the desiccator?
The interior can be cleaned with mild laboratory detergents or solvents compatible with polycarbonate. Rinse thoroughly with deionized water and allow to dry before re‑assembly.
