Secador™ Desiccator Cabinets
A very high quality yet economical solution to dry and dust-free laboratory storage
requirements
Introduction:
The Secador desiccating cabinets form an entire family of products, known for their very high
quality but with economical prices. They are intended for both long and short terms storage of
critical laboratory samples that must be stored in a dry, dust-free and
oil-free environment. These desiccator cabinets
feature a new contemporary design and would fit right into the environment of any modern laboratory anywhere.
The material of construction is DuraStar® plastic which has all of the important
mechanical and impact properties of polycarbonate for this application, but has the optical properties
of an acrylic.
Desiccating Cabinet Summary of features:
Simple easy to understand product line:
We have listed below in easy-to-understand language the features of the Secador desiccating cabinets:
- Patented dehumidifying module
It will protect any samples, be they anhydrous or hygroscopic in nature
- Relative humidity (RH) is reduced to less than 25%
Protect any components requiring controlled storage conditions. This is the ideal to store seldom-used
parts for an electron microscope or any other high vacuum or UHV part or accessory.
- Patented sealed construction
For the highest standard for airtight, dust and moisture-free storage.
- Portable and stackable
Use on any benchtop or in special storage areas, leaving a surprisingly small footprint.
- Automatic desiccant regeneration option
And at a very economical price.
- Built-in hygrometer as standard on all cabinets
Convenient way to do a quick-check on relative humidity levels.
- Visually transparent
For the easy viewing of contents and finding specific samples or components.
- Embedded UV protection
Blocks out 99% of UV radiation, and protects the cabinet for longer service life and
the contents against UV radiation induced damage.
- Superior chemical resistance
Resists staining and crazing
- Built-in carrying handles
Increases the portability of the cabinets, so that they can be carried more effortlessly,
from one laboratory location to another.

- Sturdy latches and provision for locks
The cabinets offer a secure, tamper evident means of storage of critical samples and components.
- Adjustable shelves
Feature in larger cabinets only.

Optional amber tinted model offers 50% reduction or visible light for greater sample protection.
Selection of the desiccating cabinet that is right for your application:
The cabinets are available in small or large models, with either horizontal
or vertical orientation. They are also available in completely clear,
completely blue, clear with blue end caps, or amber. Choose either a standard
Secador Desiccator Cabinet or a Secador Auto-Desiccator Cabinet to meet your
specific humidity and/or dust protection requirements. The stackable small
model is ideal for maximizing storage space in the minimum size footprint.
All cabinets block out 98% of UV radiation. In addition, amber cabinets also reduce 50% of visible light giving
added protection to those light sensitive samples.
Built-in hygrometer
Each Secador cabinet has a built in hygrometer giving a quick-check on relative humidity levels. While not a precision instrument,
it does register any significant changes in humidity. The unit can easily be checked to see if it is in calibration.
The Secador cabinets may be ordered with optional gas ports. Two ports are located on the back of the
units which allow positive pressure to flow through the cabinet.
Vacuum desiccators these are not!
None of the Secador line of desiccators is designed to be used under vacuum
and indeed if one tried to do this, a potential safety hazard could exist due to the
possibility of implosion. For vacuum applications, one should use only
specially designed vacuum desiccators,
ones specifically designed for use under vacuum.
