Vacuum Desiccator Vituord 250mm Clear Chamber with Double Valves

Description

Product Overview

The Vituord vacuum desiccator is engineered for laboratory environments where reliable moisture control and sample preservation are critical. Constructed from high‑quality polycarbonate through precision injection molding, the chamber offers exceptional impact resistance while maintaining optical clarity. The 250mm diameter acrylic front provides a transparent view of the interior, allowing technicians to observe the drying process without breaking vacuum. A robust stainless‑steel double‑valve assembly regulates airflow with fine granularity, enabling gradual pressure reduction for delicate samples. Integrated with a calibrated pressure gauge, the system delivers real‑time feedback, ensuring that the vacuum level remains within the optimal range for a variety of applications.

Sealing performance is enhanced by silicone O‑ring gaskets that sit between the upper and lower sections of the vessel. These gaskets are chemically inert, resistant to solvents, and maintain elasticity over repeated cycles, reducing the risk of vacuum leakage. The desiccator’s design includes a removable lid with a secure locking mechanism, simplifying loading and unloading of specimens while preserving the integrity of the sealed environment. The overall construction balances durability with ease of use, making it suitable for both routine drying tasks and long‑term storage requirements.

Usage

This vacuum desiccator excels in a wide range of laboratory settings. Researchers handling biochemical reagents benefit from the rapid moisture removal that accelerates reaction kinetics while protecting sensitive compounds from atmospheric humidity. Optical laboratories use the clear chamber to dry lenses and prisms, taking advantage of the unobstructed view to monitor surface conditions. Precision engineering workshops rely on the stable vacuum environment to dry and store machined components, ensuring dimensional stability before further processing. Additionally, the desiccator serves as a secure storage unit for seeds, cultural relics, and other artifacts that require controlled humidity to prevent degradation over extended periods.

Operational flexibility is achieved through the double‑valve system, which allows users to fine‑tune the evacuation speed based on sample sensitivity. The pressure gauge provides immediate visual confirmation of vacuum levels, reducing the need for external monitoring equipment. The desiccator can be integrated into existing laboratory workflows, fitting onto standard benchtops and compatible with common vacuum pumps. Its transparent design also facilitates quick visual inspections, minimizing downtime between drying cycles.

FAQ

How long can the desiccator maintain vacuum without significant loss?

Under normal laboratory conditions, the Vituord desiccator maintains a vacuum level with less than 6% loss for up to 30 days, thanks to the silicone O‑ring seals and robust construction.

Can the desiccator be used with standard laboratory vacuum pumps?

Yes, the desiccator is compatible with most bench‑top vacuum pumps that provide a pressure range suitable for laboratory drying. The double‑valve design allows for gradual pressure reduction, making it safe to connect to a variety of pump models.

Is the acrylic chamber resistant to common laboratory solvents?

The acrylic front is chemically resistant to many solvents typically encountered in laboratory environments, such as water, ethanol, and low‑concentration acids. For aggressive solvents, it is recommended to use protective liners or consult the material safety data sheet.

What maintenance is required to keep the desiccator performing optimally?

Regular inspection of the silicone O‑rings for wear, cleaning the interior with appropriate solvents, and verifying the pressure gauge calibration are recommended maintenance steps. Replacement O‑rings are readily available from Vituord support.

Does the desiccator come with any accessories for sample handling?

The standard package includes the vacuum chamber, double‑valve assembly, pressure gauge, and a set of silicone O‑rings. Additional accessories such as sample trays, shelving inserts, and external vacuum adapters can be ordered separately to customize the system for specific workflows.
