Desiccant Cartridge, 6in Desiccators
Desiccant Cartridges and Bags are used with 6, 8, or 10in (152, 203, or 254mm) Desiccators for drying and stabilizing moisture-sensitive samples. The cartridges and bags contain noncorrosive and nontoxic silica gel. All models can be repeatedly reused by regenerating them after they become fully saturated with moisture without the worry of degradation.
