Dessicator, Borosilicate Glass

Quick answer: The Borosilicate Glass Desiccator provides a hermetically sealed, moisture-free environment for storing hygroscopic chemicals and cooling heated samples, with borosilicate construction offering better thermal and structural durability than standard clear glass. Dessicator, Borosilicate Glass is priced at approximately ₹885 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).

This desiccator’s borosilicate glass construction gives it better thermal and structural durability than a standard clear glass desiccator, which is useful in labs that regularly place freshly heated crucibles or samples inside for cooling. The hermetically sealed chamber, maintained by a vacuum-tight ground glass interface, keeps hygroscopic reagents and other moisture-sensitive samples protected from atmospheric humidity during storage or cooling. This makes it a standard piece of equipment in analytical chemistry laboratories where accurate sample weighing depends on the sample staying free of absorbed moisture.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Cooling freshly heated crucibles or samples before weighing
• Storing hygroscopic reagents and moisture-sensitive compounds
• Analytical chemistry procedures requiring accurate, moisture-free sample handling
• Labs with frequent heating cycles that benefit from borosilicate’s added durability

Care & Maintenance

• Check and replace or regenerate desiccant regularly when it becomes saturated
• Grease the ground glass lid interface lightly to maintain an effective seal
• Allow adequate cooling time before removing samples to avoid thermal shock to the glass

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose borosilicate over clear glass for a desiccator?

Borosilicate glass offers greater thermal and structural durability, which is useful for labs that regularly place freshly heated crucibles or samples inside for cooling.

Does this desiccator include desiccant?

Confirm with STEMAids whether desiccant such as silica gel is included with this listing or needs to be sourced separately.

What size is this desiccator?

Exact internal diameter and capacity have not been independently verified for this listing — confirm with STEMAids before ordering.

Is this suitable for a college analytical chemistry lab?

Yes — desiccators are standard equipment for moisture-sensitive sample handling in analytical chemistry coursework and research.

Can a hot crucible be placed directly into this desiccator?

Borosilicate construction is more tolerant of heat than standard glass, but allowing some initial cooling before placing a very hot crucible inside is still good practice.

Is STEMAids a registered manufacturer of this product?

Yes. Eduscope Smart Learning Solutions Private Limited is a Udyam-registered micro manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-DL-06-0069460) and is ISO 9001:2015 certified. See the About page for full registration and certification details — manufacturer-stated, verify before citing in procurement documents.
