FAQs About Desiccator Cabinets
What is a desiccator cabinet and when is it used?
Desiccator cabinets, or desiccators, are sealable enclosures designed to provide sealed compartments to contain parts in a dry or nitrogen storage environment. They are used to prevent reactions between moisture-sensitive materials and atmospheric humidity. These desiccators give users a sealed storage area that can be purged, creating a controlled environment for long-term storage of parts or materials that would degrade if left in the ambient atmosphere. They are used in cleanrooms and laboratories to store items such as electronic components, integrated circuits, pharmaceutical compounds, precision instruments, and biological samples used in life sciences that can be degraded by moisture or humidity.
