Key Features

Reliable Vacuum Performance

• Achieves and maintains a maximum vacuum of 1 Torr (1.33×10⁻⁴ MPa) for over 72 hours, guaranteeing a stable environment essential for storing and protecting sensitive samples from moisture and contaminants.

Advanced Airtight Seal

• Equipped with a high-quality silicone gasket that eliminates the need for vacuum grease. This greaseless, airtight seal provides a cleaner working environment, reduces contamination risks, and lowers maintenance costs over time.

Durable and Transparent Build

• Constructed from shatterproof, highly transparent polycarbonate, offering excellent durability and chemical resistance. The clear body allows constant sample observation without compromising safety or integrity.
• The polycarbonate material also ensures long-term non-corrosive performance, making it suitable for various lab conditions.

Precise and Easy Control

• Features a versatile three-way stopcock that provides precise control for vacuum draw, release, and gas exchange. Barbed fittings on each side ensure secure tubing attachment, accommodating most standard laboratory setups.

Optimized Storage Capacity

• Designed with an 11L (0.4 cu ft) interior volume and the ability to accommodate up to four perforated polypropylene shelves. This maximizes the desiccator’s efficiency, allowing you to store multiple samples simultaneously in an organized manner.
• Includes two shelves as standard, with options to add more for additional storage flexibility.

Space-Saving Stackable Design

• The compact, stackable design makes it ideal for labs where bench space is at a premium. Utilize your workspace efficiently without compromising on functionality.

Effortless Monitoring

• Equipped with a front-facing vacuum gauge for at-a-glance monitoring of vacuum levels, ensuring easy and precise adjustments during use.

UV Protection for Light-Sensitive Samples

• The amber-tinted UV-blocking variant (U models) protects light-sensitive samples from UV damage and discoloration, safeguarding their integrity during storage or experimentation.

Convenient Connectivity

• Features four built-in ports for simple and versatile tubing attachment, streamlining your workflow and ensuring compatibility with various setups.

Environmentally Friendly

• Manufactured in compliance with RoHS standards, ensuring environmental safety by restricting hazardous substances (applies to non-U models).

Applications

The VDC-11U Vacuum Desiccator is perfect for:

• Protecting moisture-sensitive reagents or components in analytical labs.
• Storing light-sensitive samples like photochemicals or biological specimens.
• Creating controlled environments for materials testing, drying, or curing.
• Organizing samples in high-precision scientific experiments or industrial settings.
