Desiccant Cartridges and Bags are used with 6 or 10in (152 or 254mm) Desiccators for drying and stabilizing moisture-sensitive samples. The cartridges and bags contain noncorrosive and nontoxic silica gel. Both models can be repeatedly reused by regenerating them after they become fully saturated with moisture, without the worry of degradation.
MA-180 Desiccant Cartridge is for 6in Desiccators, contains 40g of silica gel desiccant, and has a 2.84in (72mm) diameter. The cartridge is composed of clear polypropylene to allow instant visual inspection of the silica gel, which changes in color from blue to pink after moisture absorption. Cartridges can be regenerated by simply placing them in a 122°F (50°C) oven overnight or a 212°F (100°C) oven for six hours.
MA-183 Desiccant Bag is used with 10in Desiccators, contains 500g of silica gel desiccant, and measures 8.25x6x2in (210x150x50mm), LxWxH. The bag is constructed of durable microfiber containing silica beads to eliminate the risk of leakage and is unaffected by moisture. Bags have an indicator dot on the side of the pouch that changes from blue to pink when saturated and can be regenerated by microwaving for six minutes.
