Round Vacuum Desiccators from Jeiotech provide reliable vacuum storage for moisture-sensitive laboratory samples and materials. Constructed from transparent, impact-resistant polycarbonate, these desiccators offer durability, excellent visibility, and easy cleaning. Designed to maintain vacuum levels down to 1 Torr (1.33 × 10⁻⁴ MPa) for more than 72 hours, the systems support controlled storage conditions. Apex Scientific supplies round vacuum desiccators throughout South Africa, offering laboratory equipment for research, testing, and industrial applications.
Durable construction and airtight sealing
The round vacuum desiccators feature highly transparent polycarbonate construction that resists impact, corrosion, and routine laboratory handling. Furthermore, the clear housing allows users to inspect stored materials without opening the chamber, helping preserve internal vacuum conditions.
A high-quality silicone gasket provides an airtight seal without requiring vacuum grease. As a result, laboratories can maintain a clean storage environment while reducing maintenance requirements.
Additionally, a flange lock secures the upper and lower sections during non-vacuum conditions, making the equipment easier to handle and transport.
Reliable vacuum control and operation
Jeiotech round vacuum desiccators achieve vacuum levels down to 1 Torr and can maintain these conditions for more than 72 hours under specified conditions. This makes the equipment suitable for laboratory applications requiring reduced-pressure storage.
The integrated three-way stopcock allows users to control vacuum application, vacuum release, and gas exchange. Moreover, barbed fittings on both sides provide secure connections for vacuum tubing.
Selected G and UG models also accommodate a vacuum gauge mounted centrally on the lid. Consequently, laboratory personnel can monitor internal pressure conveniently during operation.
UV protection for light-sensitive samples
Jeiotech offers UV-blocking round vacuum desiccators for laboratories handling light-sensitive materials. Available in U and UG models, these systems help minimise UV exposure and reduce the risk of sample discolouration or degradation caused by light.
Furthermore, the range includes different sizes to accommodate various sample volumes and storage requirements. This flexibility allows laboratories to select suitable equipment for their applications.
Flexible configurations and compatibility
The round vacuum desiccators offer additional flexibility through compatibility with Jeiotech’s cylindrical vacuum desiccator range. Their interchangeable upper and lower sections allow users to configure the equipment according to different laboratory requirements.
Additionally, the combination of vacuum control, durable construction, and optional pressure monitoring supports a variety of laboratory storage applications.
Conclusion
Round Vacuum Desiccators from Jeiotech combine reliable vacuum performance, airtight sealing, and flexible configuration options. Whether your laboratory requires standard vacuum storage, pressure monitoring, or UV protection, Apex Scientific can help you select suitable equipment.
