Bel-Art Secador 1.0 Benchtop Desiccator Cabinet with UV Protection and Built-in Hygrometer

The Bel-Art Secador 1.0 Desiccator Cabinet is a compact, benchtop dry storage solution designed for *moisture-sensitive materials* commonly handled in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology workflows. Constructed from Durastar co-polyester, it provides chemical resistance, blocks 99% of harmful UV light, and prevents staining or crazing to protect delicate reagents and standards.

Key technical features include:

• Internal volume of 0.7 cubic feet with dimensions of 11 x 7 x 7 inches for efficient space utilization in laboratory environments
• One fixed shelf for organizing small containers and sensitive biological samples
• Clear cabinet and door construction, enabling quick visibility of contents without exposure
• An integrated Eva-Dry mini dehumidifier for *passive moisture control*, essential for maintaining low humidity conditions critical in bioprocessing and gene editing research
• A built-in door hygrometer allowing continuous monitoring of internal relative humidity, crucial for applications such as molecular cloning and biomanufacturing
• Patented seal design with tab latches and security loops to accommodate padlocks or tamper-evident seals, enhancing security in clinical diagnostics and cell imaging labs

Measuring 14 x 11 x 9 inches and weighing 5 lbs, this desiccator cabinet is ideal for protecting moisture-sensitive laboratory reagents during storage, making it widely adopted in *synthetic biology research* and *biomedical engineering* contexts. The combination of chemical resistance, UV protection, and effective moisture absorption supports long-term sample integrity vital for research continuity.

This equipment supports dry storage needs without requiring powered systems, making it a practical solution for controlled humidity environments in *biotechnology* and *clinical research* laboratories.
