Glass Desiccator – 100mm Internal Diameter (Simax Borosilicate)

This high‑quality 100mm Glass Desiccator is manufactured from premium Simax borosilicate glass and is designed to provide effective moisture‑free storage for laboratory samples and materials. Supplied complete with a knobbed lid and perforated porcelain disc, it offers a reliable and professional solution for drying, cooling, and protecting substances in educational and laboratory environments.

Known for its excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance, Simax borosilicate glass is ideal for routine laboratory use. The precisely ground lid creates a secure seal when used with a desiccant, helping to maintain low‑humidity conditions inside the chamber. With a 100mm internal diameter, this compact desiccator is perfectly sized for use on laboratory benches or in prep rooms where space may be limited.

The included internal disc supports samples above the desiccant, allowing air circulation while keeping items dry and uncontaminated. This makes the desiccator suitable for repeated classroom use, demonstrations, and technician‑led preparation work.
