Vacu-Storr™
The Vacu-Storr high vacuum storage containers (desiccators) were developed to store materials which are sensitive to dust, moisture, oxygen and other gases found in the environment. The Vacu-Storr is capable of pumping down to vacuum levels of 10-4 mbar. With a higher conductance valve and capable pump even 10-6 mbar is achievable. The clean design of these high-tech desiccators with soda-lime glass containers, nickel-plated aluminum cap, viton vacuum seal and metal valve with PTFE shaft seal is capable of holding a vacuum for 5 years to 0.1 bar (atmosphere). Vacuum connection for pump-down is 1/4" (6.35mm) barb fitting. Shielded with protective plastic mesh for implosion protection. Lid and mesh color may vary. Available in four sizes:

The DRI-BOX® is a small perforated plastic box containing indicating silica gel. The box is sealed on the side to prevent silica gel from spilling. The DRI-BOX® is convenient for use in smaller type desiccators of 3 cubic feet or less, packages, and for transportation. The desiccant has a reversible action. Once it has adsorbed all the moisture it can hold, indicated by a color change from blue to pink, it can be regenerated easily by microwave (15-20 seconds) or conventional oven (3 hours @ 240°F/115°C). Once it is regenerated it turns back to blue.
