Vacuum Glass Desiccator – 200mm Internal Diameter with Disc (Simax Borosilicate)

This professional‑grade 200mm Vacuum Glass Desiccator is manufactured from high‑quality Simax borosilicate glass, offering excellent durability and performance for moisture‑controlled laboratory work. Designed for use under reduced pressure, it is supplied complete with a knobbed lid, vacuum connection, and internal perforated disc, making it ideal for advanced educational and laboratory applications.

Simax borosilicate glass is renowned for its outstanding chemical resistance and thermal stability, ensuring safe and reliable performance in demanding environments. The vacuum‑type design allows moisture to be removed more efficiently when used with a suitable vacuum pump, while the precisely ground lid helps maintain an effective airtight seal. With a 200mm internal diameter, this desiccator provides ample capacity for larger samples or multiple items.

The included internal disc supports samples above the desiccant, allowing air circulation while keeping materials dry and protected. This larger vacuum desiccator is particularly well suited to school science departments, colleges, and laboratories carrying out more advanced drying and storage procedures.
