Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Question: What is the maximum vacuum pressure the desiccator can handle?
Answer: The desiccator is designed to handle typical laboratory vacuum levels, up to 29.9 inches of mercury (Hg), depending on the vacuum pump used.

Question: Can the desiccator be used for storing corrosive chemicals?
Answer: While the desiccator is made of polycarbonate, which is resistant to many chemicals, it is advisable to check compatibility with specific chemicals and use appropriate liners if necessary.

Question: How should I clean the desiccator?
Answer: Clean with mild soap and water, and avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure it is completely dry before reassembling and using.

Question: What is the recommended maintenance schedule?
Answer: Inspect the desiccator regularly for any signs of wear or damage, and clean it before and after use. Perform a vacuum seal test periodically to ensure proper functionality.

Question: Can the desiccator be used for high-temperature applications?
Answer: No, the desiccator is designed for standard laboratory conditions and should not be used in high-temperature environments as it may affect the integrity of the polycarbonate material.
