The MEDILAB Porcelain Desiccator Plate with Stand is a durable, perforated ceramic plate designed for use inside laboratory desiccators. It provides a stable, elevated platform for drying, cooling, and storing moisture-sensitive samples. The integrated stand lifts the plate above the desiccant chamber, ensuring optimal airflow and uniform humidity control. This makes it essential for high-precision laboratory and industrial applications where moisture-free environments are critical.

Key Features

  • Strong, high-grade porcelain construction for long-term laboratory use.
  • Integrated stand provides stable elevation above desiccant materials.
  • Evenly spaced perforations ensure efficient air circulation throughout the desiccator.
  • Excellent chemical and thermal resistance suitable for rigorous lab conditions.
  • Smooth glazed surface allows easy cleaning and prevents reagent adhesion.
  • Compatible with standard glass and polycarbonate desiccators used worldwide.
  • Chip-resistant, durable design ideal for heavy daily laboratory workflows.

  • Sizes Available: Compatible with a range of standard desiccator diameters.
  • Tolerance: Precision-cast to ensure proper chamber fit and stability.
  • Calibration: Not required.
  • Accessories: Supplied as a standalone plate (no additional parts included).

 Handling & Precautions

  • Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock-induced cracking.
  • Clean using mild detergents; avoid abrasive pads and strong alkali cleaners.
  • Allow the plate to cool and dry completely before placing it inside the desiccator.
  • Do not overload the plate with heavy or unevenly distributed items.
  • Handle with care to prevent edge chipping; store with padding when not in use.

 Applications

  • Ideal for pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology, food, and materials testing laboratories.
  • Suitable for drying, cooling, and storing hygroscopic samples in controlled-humidity environments.
  • Widely used in QC/QA departments, academic institutions, R&D centres, and industrial testing labs.
  • Critical for processes requiring accurate moisture control and contamination-free sample handling.
