Description
Nalgene™ polypropylene desiccator with stopcock is a top-loading vacuum desiccator for drying, storage and conditioned holding of laboratory samples. A transparent polycarbonate dome keeps contents clearly visible while the polypropylene body remains lighter than traditional glassware and is compatible with all solid desiccants. The unit is specified for use with a 230 mm plate; maximum clearance above the plate is 5,6 in., with a metric inner diameter of 24,6 cm and outer diameter of 33 cm, and an overall height of about 9,6 in. The stopcock connection supports controlled evacuation and venting during vacuum desiccation workflows. Suitable for general laboratory drying cabinets and benchtop moisture-sensitive work, this desiccator from manufacturer Thermo Scientific – Laboratory Plastics combines chemical resistance of polypropylene with easy observation through the PC cover. It offers a practical alternative to heavier glass desiccators wherever robust plastic construction, clear viewing and stopcock vacuum service are required for routine sample conditioning and storage under reduced humidity.

Questions about Nalgene™ Polypropylene Desiccator with Stopcock
What is this article?
Nalgene™ Polypropylene Desiccator with Stopcock is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics for laboratory use. It sits in Desiccators & desiccant, inside Tools & accessories, in Labware.
A desiccator is a closed vessel that keeps a dried sample dry, usually over a desiccant or under vacuum. The seal of the lid and the state of the desiccant, not the glass alone, decide whether water stays out.
The small tools of the bench are what the hand actually holds: a spatula for a powder, forceps for an object that must stay clean, a brush for a narrow neck, a desiccator when a dried sample must not take up water again. None of these reads a measurement. They keep the measurement possible. The apparatus around them is listed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
