A desiccator, also referred to as a dry box or dry cabinet, is a humidity-controlled chamber that produces a dry, clean environment conducive to the storage of sensitive materials, samples, or components. A desiccator environment is ideal for storing oxidation-prone, hygroscopic, or …
A – Application: Which Desiccator is Best for My Application? (back to chart) Cost vs. Control: Terra Desiccators Simplify Your Choice You need to protect sensitive samples, but you don’t want to overpay. Below is a list of application descriptions to help choose the best desiccator storage system …
Inert nitrogen gas is commonly used in laboratories to control the atmosphere for highly sensitive equipment and procedures. The best way to maintain the environment in a desiccator cabinet, glove box, or similar enclosure, is to automatically purge the environment with nitrogen or argon gas. …
How to Prevent Moisture Damage with a Desiccator Cabinet On a grand scale, every desiccator cabinet looks similar: air-tight chambers, meant to keep components inside safe from humidity and particulate contamination during storage. It’s not until you need one that you consider what distinguishes …
Terra offers desiccator and desiccator cabinet designs for every purpose - whether it be for transportation, short term or long term storage, these dry cabinets protect sensitive parts and materials of all shapes and sizes from moisture damage, particle contamination, electro-static discharge, and …
Why a Nitrogen Generator Belongs in Your Lab Forget about renting nitrogen tanks — laboratory applications aren’t on the same level as buying helium for a kid’s birthday balloons. Critical operations can’t wait for resupply. What happens when production stops because the gas supply has depleted, or …
Door Alignment Proper alignment of doors will prevent excessive gas escape and ensure door sensor alignment. Some leakage, however, is normal. Because cabinets operate under varying degrees of positive pressure, Terra door gaskets are designed to allow controlled gas escape. All cabinets are …
What is electrostatic discharge? How is it generated? How does it damage microelectronic devices? How can it be controlled? What are the advantages and disadvantages of static control methods available today? Why all the Static? Static electricity is an excess or deficiency of electrons on a …
Terra offers a comprehensive range of application-specific desiccator cabinets and nitrogen control systems. These performance concepts will help you select the system right for your application. Nitrogen is the standard medium for contamination-free storage because it is relatively inert—it …
Why Choose Desiccator Storage? As critical components become smaller and more sophisticated, their susceptibility to moisture damage increases. Once absorbed by sensitive components, water creates a number of potentially disastrous conditions. Even minute traces of oxidation, the most notorious …
