Individual carton packing facilitates safe delivery and convenient storage for exporters, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders.
FAQs of DESICCATOR VACCUM:
Q: How is the vacuum created in the Vacuum Desiccator, and what maximum vacuum can it achieve?
A: The vacuum within the desiccator is established manually using a vacuum valve connected to an external vacuum pump. The unit is capable of reaching vacuum levels up to 740 mm Hg, making it highly effective for moisture-sensitive sample storage.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of this Vacuum Desiccator, and why are they significant?
A: The desiccator is made from borosilicate glass for the chamber and polypropylene for the lid, featuring stainless steel fittings and either a silicon or neoprene gasket for sealing. These materials offer chemical resistance, durability, and the ability to withstand temperatures up to 120C, ensuring reliable laboratory performance.
Q: When and where is the Vacuum Desiccator typically used in laboratories?
A: Vacuum desiccators are used whenever moisture-sensitive substances require protection or when samples need to be dried under reduced pressure. Their usage spans across chemical, pharmaceutical, biological, and industrial laboratories in India and worldwide.
Q: What is the sealing process and how does it benefit sample preservation?
A: The desiccator is sealed using a silicon or neoprene gasket that fits snugly between the lid and base, creating an airtight environment. This prevents the ingress of humidity, thereby protecting samples from moisture and contamination.
Q: How does the porcelain base plate function within the desiccator setup?
A: The included porcelain plate acts as a stable platform for samples and drying agents. Its chemical inertness ensures that it does not react with the stored substances, enhancing sample integrity and ease of cleaning.
Q: What are the handling and packaging advantages for exporters and suppliers?
A: Each desiccator is packed in an individual carton, ensuring protection during transit and storage. This packaging, combined with the equipments manual operation and flexible size options, makes it highly convenient for exporters, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders in India.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a manual vacuum desiccator over electric alternatives?
A: Manual vacuum desiccators do not require an external power source, offering portability and versatility for labs with limited electrical access. They also present fewer mechanical risks and lower maintenance requirements, making them practical and cost-effective.
