Nalgene 5315-0150 Autoclavable Polypropylene Vacuum Desiccator with Polycarbonate Cover (150mm ID)

The Nalgene 5315-0150 Autoclavable Polypropylene Desiccator is designed for reliable moisture control and vacuum drying in laboratory environments, critical for molecular diagnostics and biopharmaceutical workflows. Key features include:

• Material Composition: Durable polypropylene base resistant to all solid desiccants, including acids and alkalies, combined with a transparent polycarbonate (PC) cover enabling clear visibility of contents.
• Autoclavable Design: Suitable for repeated autoclaving to maintain sterility, although autoclave exposure may gradually reduce product lifespan.
• Dimensions:
• Outer diameter: 181 mm (7 inches)
• Inner diameter: 149 mm (5.87 inches)
• Maximum clearance above plate: 3.4 inches
• Overall size: 140 mm height
• Vacuum Use: Constructed to withstand full vacuum without shattering or implosion when used per instructions, supporting critical applications in biotechnology such as gene editing protocols and synthetic biology research.
• Operational Details: Does not require a gasket; only vacuum grease is needed to maintain the seal. The cover features a recessed rim design to prevent grease contamination of benchtops. No stopcock included.
• Applications: Widely used in drying sensitive biological samples, essential for sample preservation in bioprocessing, molecular cloning workflows, and sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.

This desiccator is a robust solution for laboratories engaged in clinical diagnostics, cell imaging preparations, and other research requiring controlled humidity environments. Note: availability of support plate may vary; some units are sold without the support plate at a discounted price.
