About This Product
A vacuum desiccator is used to keep samples dry and to store substances that absorb moisture, with a desiccant placed in the lower part. Air can be removed through the stopcock to create a vacuum, which also helps dry samples faster. In school and college labs it is used to dry precipitates and crystals and to store chemicals that take up water from the air. The transparent dome lets the state of the desiccant be checked without lifting the dome.
