The MEDILAB Porcelain Desiccator Plate (without centre hole) is a robust, high-temperature ceramic platform designed for controlled drying and moisture-removal applications inside desiccators. Its evenly distributed perforations support stable airflow while securely holding crucibles, samples, and vessels. Essential for laboratories requiring precise moisture control, it ensures safe and reliable sample storage, protection, and desiccation.

Key Features

• High-strength porcelain construction for durability and long service life.
• No centre hole—ideal for specific desiccation setups requiring full support at the centre.
• Smooth glazed upper and lower surfaces for easy cleaning and chemical resistance.
• Evenly spaced peripheral holes for optimised air circulation within the desiccator.
• Resistant to thermal stress, making it suitable for high-temperature drying.
• Stable, flat design ensures steady placement of labware, crucibles, and samples.
• Compatible with standard laboratory desiccators.

 Material Specifications

• Material: Premium laboratory-grade porcelain.
• Thermal Properties: High heat resistance; withstands repeated heating and cooling.
• Chemical Properties: Resistant to most acids, alkalis, and common laboratory reagents.
• Mechanical Properties: Dense, non-porous ceramic offers strength, rigidity, and low moisture absorption.
• Standards: Manufactured under ISO/DIN-compliant ceramic labware processes.

Technical Specifications

• Available Sizes: Suitable for various desiccator diameters (standard laboratory sizes).
• Design: Solid-centre plate with multiple peripheral holes for airflow.
• Dimensions: Precise diameter, thickness, and hole arrangement for compatibility and stability.
• Tolerance: Uniformly cast to ensure a stable fit in desiccators.
• Accessories Included: – None (compatible with all MEDILAB desiccators).

Handling & Precautions

• Handle with care to avoid dropping or striking hard surfaces.
• Clean using mild detergents; avoid abrasives that may damage glazing.
• Prevent sudden temperature shocks—allow gradual heating and cooling.
• Ensure the plate is dry before placing it in heated environments.
• Avoid overloading with excessively heavy glassware to prevent stress cracks.
• Inspect regularly for chips or fractures and replace if damaged.

Applications

• Ideal for pharmaceutical, chemical, food testing, biotech, and environmental laboratories.
• Used for moisture-sensitive sample storage, drying, and desiccation.
• Supports crucibles, watch glasses, chemical samples, and glassware inside desiccators.
• Essential in QC/QA labs for maintaining low-humidity environments.
• Suitable for academic and research institutions requiring consistent desiccation performance.
