Space-Saver Desiccator Perforated Plate
Circular, 4.8 mm-thick plates rest inside Bel-Art's Space-Saver Desiccators to hold samples and create space for desiccant. Plates are perforated for efficiency. The chemical-resistant plates endure temperatures up to 150°C (300°F).
Bel-Art Disposable Desiccant Cartridges
Bel-Art silica 100 mm desiccant cartridges protect materials from moisture and can be regenerated by applying dry heat. When silica is saturated with moisture, it turns pink. Cartridges are non-toxic, non-corrosive and inert.
Bel-Art Desi-Can Reusable Desiccant Canister
Bel-Art Desi-Canâ„¢ aluminum desiccant canister conveniently fits into spaces such as toolboxes or instrument cases to guard against rust. Monitor desiccant through the viewing window to check moisture saturation.

Bel-Art Vacuum Space-Saver Desiccator Chambers include a clear, chemical-resistant polycarbonate base with interlocking ridges for stacks up to 3 units high. Space Saver Desiccators use either high-heat desiccator plates or desiccant cartridges to quickly dry samples or degas parts
Vacuum Space-Saver desiccators use high-heat desiccator plates or desiccant cartridges to quickly dry samples or degas parts
Non-vacuum desiccators are feasible as a drying chamber for thin-layer chromatography plates, dried materials, and chemical standards.
Can I Use a Desiccator Cabinet to Bake or Actively Dry Materials?
Typically, a desiccator is appropriate for maintaining low levels of moisture, but not a meaningful replacement for removing moisture from already saturated items. A desiccator cabinet maintains dry conditions that prevent trace moisture from degrading sensitive parts from absorbing moisture during storage or assembly workflows.
Moisture is removed from the chamber product via silica desiccant, active drying, or purged via an inert gas or vacuum to prevent adsorption. Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions or molecules which originate from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface.
Desiccant Packages for Secador Desiccant Cabinets
Desiccant drying packages are Ideal for use with Secador 1.0 or 2.0 desiccators, these desiccant cartridges reduce moisture and the silica gel beads turn pink when saturated with moisture. The transparent polystyrene dish allows silica gel examination without requiring access or opening of the chamber. Beneficially, the desiccant is non-toxic, non-corrosive and inert.
