|---|---|---|---|
| This desiccator (EL-GL-55) | None | Grease on the flanges | 150, 200, 250 and 300 mm |

Choose the plain desiccator for drying, cooling and storage at normal room pressure. The vacuum model is the one to pick when samples have to be dried under reduced pressure.
What Is the Plain Desiccator Used For?
In gravimetric analysis a crucible or dish that has been heated or dried is cooled in a desiccator before weighing, so that it does not take up moisture from the air and gain mass. The desiccant in the lower part absorbs water vapour from the enclosed air, which also makes a desiccator the usual place to keep hygroscopic chemicals and dried precipitates between experiments.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Size — one of the four nominal sizes; the I.D. figure shows how much inside width there is for dishes.
- Number of pieces — how many desiccators of each size you need.
- Desiccant and crucibles — silica gel and porcelain crucibles are separate catalogue items that can be quoted on the same enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the plain desiccator made airtight?
By applying grease on the flanges where the lid meets the base. Without a stopcock it is not evacuated, so the greased flange is what keeps room air out.
What is the perforated disc for?
It holds the dishes above the desiccant. The disc is thick polypropylene with a big hole in the centre for lifting it out, and its tiny holes let air pass while supporting the dishes.
Can incandescent crucibles be placed on the disc?
Not on the polypropylene disc: for incandescent crucibles a porcelain disc is advisable instead.
Which details help with an export quotation?
The number of desiccators per size, the country and the port or city of delivery, the delivery terms you prefer such as FOB or CIF, any special packing or labelling, and a tender reference where there is one.
Who manufactures the Desiccator Plain?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, manufactures it in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of laboratory equipment and labware in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The plain desiccator is produced at JLab’s own works instead of being sourced from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal directly with the manufacturer for first orders and repeats.
