5520 ESAW Desiccator (Plain)

Plain Desiccators are physically the same as Vaccum desiccators. The only difference is the absence of a stop cock. Grease should be applied to the flanges to make it airtight. Both Vaccum & Plan Desiccators are provided with a thick perforated Polypropylene disc with a big hole in the center for easy lifting. The tiny holes in the disc provide air troughs & support to the dishes. However, porcelain discs are advisable in case of incandescent crucibles.
