Vacu-Storr high vacuum storage desiccators

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^-4mbar. 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 aluminium 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. Available in four sizes:

Storage applications:

• Moisture sensitive parts such as integrated circuits, rare earth elements, steel, metals
• Superconducting materials
• Oxygen reactive materials such as magnesium and lithium
• Elemental standards for EDS, WDS, EPMA, micro-XRF
• SEM/TEM samples
• Pre-cleaned parts
• Shipping sensitive parts
