Thermo Scientific™ Nalgene™ Autoclavable Polypropylene Desiccators are durable, laboratory-grade desiccation chambers designed for safe moisture-free storage of sensitive samples and reagents. Featuring a robust blue polypropylene body resistant to all solid desiccants and a transparent polycarbonate (PC) cover, these desiccators allow easy visibility of contents while providing dependable protection against humidity.
These top-loading desiccators are autoclavable and suitable for routine laboratory use in research, clinical, pharmaceutical, and industrial environments. Their recessed cover rim helps prevent vacuum grease contamination of benchtops, while the strong construction ensures long service life even in demanding workflows.
Key Features and Benefits
Clear Polycarbonate Cover for Easy Viewing
The transparent PC lid allows continuous monitoring of stored samples without opening the chamber.
High Resistance to Solid Desiccants
The polypropylene body is highly resistant to all common solid desiccants, ensuring chemical compatibility and durability.
Autoclavable Construction
Suitable for sterilization by autoclaving, supporting clean laboratory workflows.
Note: repeated autoclaving may reduce product lifespan.
Recessed Rim Design for Cleaner Handling
The cover features a recessed rim that keeps vacuum grease off the benchtop when the lid is placed down.
No Gasket Required
These desiccators do not require a gasket—only grease is needed to ensure a proper seal.
