Desiccators

A laboratory desiccator is a sealed container used in scientific laboratories to store moisture-sensitive substances in a dry environment. Designed to protect chemicals, samples, and materials from humidity, desiccators often contain a desiccant such as silica gel to maintain low moisture levels. Commonly made from glass or durable plastic, they feature an airtight lid to ensure long-term preservation of hygroscopic items. Laboratory desiccators are essential in chemical, pharmaceutical, and research settings, where controlling humidity is crucial for accurate experimental results and sample integrity. Their use extends to drying glassware and preventing oxidation of sensitive compounds.
