Vacuum desiccator:
Thanks for letting me know about Fisher Scientific’s range of Vacuum desiccator It’s always helpful to be aware of different suppliers and options for scientific equipment.
Here’s a guide on how to use a vacuum desiccator:
1. Preparation Vacuum desiccator:
- Inspect for Damage: Examine the desiccator for any cracks, chips, or compromised seals. Never use a damaged desiccator.
- Add Desiccants: Place a drying agent, typically silica gel, into the bottom of the desiccator. Ensure it doesn’t surpass the level of the plate.
- Apply Lubricant: Apply a thin layer of vacuum grease (not silicone grease) to the ground surfaces of the lid and base to create an airtight seal.
2. Placing Samples Vacuum desiccator:
- Position Samples: Place your samples on a suitable surface, like a watch glass or weighing paper, and position them on the desiccator plate.
Creating a Vacuum:
- Connect Vacuum Pump: Attach a vacuum pump to the side tube of the desiccator using a flexible vacuum hose.
- Open Stopcock: Rotate the stopcock to open it, allowing air to be drawn out by the vacuum pump.
- Monitor Vacuum: Keep an eye on the vacuum gauge (if available) to ensure sufficient vacuum is achieved.
- Close Stopcock: Once the desired vacuum level is reached, close the stopcock to maintain the vacuum.
Allowing Drying:
- Leave Samples: Leave the samples in the vacuum desiccator for the required drying time. This can vary depending on the nature of the samples and the drying agent used.
Releasing Vacuum:
- Open Stopcock Gradually: To release the vacuum, slowly and partially open the stopcock to allow air to enter gradually. This prevents sudden pressure changes that could damage samples or the desiccator.
- Equalize Pressure: Once the pressure inside the desiccator equalizes with the outside air, the lid can be safely removed.
Opening Desiccator:
- Slide Lid: Gently slide the lid off the desiccator, taking care not to disrupt the samples or the drying agent.
Removing Samples:
- Retrieve Samples: Carefully remove your dried samples from the desiccator.
Additional Tips:
- Handle with Care: Avoid placing heavy objects on the desiccator lid or dropping the desiccator.
- Regenerate Desiccants: Reactivate used silica gel by heating it in an oven to remove absorbed moisture.
- Store Properly: Keep the desiccator tightly closed when not in use to maintain the effectiveness of the drying agent.
