Desiccator

Desiccator is a container used to create a low-humidity environment for storing or drying moisture-sensitive substances. It is designed to protect sensitive materials from exposure to atmospheric moisture, which can potentially degrade their quality or alter their properties.

A typical desiccator consists of a sturdy, airtight container made of glass or plastic, often with a removable lid or cover. The interior of the desiccator contains a platform or shelf on which the substances to be protected or dried are placed. The desiccator is equipped with a desiccant, which is a moisture-absorbing material that helps maintain a low-humidity environment. Common desiccants include silica gel, anhydrous salts (such as calcium chloride or magnesium perchlorate), or activated charcoal.

Desiccators are commonly employed in various laboratory applications, such as storing moisture-sensitive chemicals, preserving hygroscopic samples, or drying samples that require a low-humidity environment. They are particularly useful when working with substances that are sensitive to moisture, such as certain reagents, organic compounds, or moisture-sensitive analytical samples.

乾燥器是一種用於創造低濕度環境的容器，用於儲存或乾燥對濕氣敏感的物質。其設計目的是保護敏感物質免受大氣濕氣的影響，因為大氣濕氣可能會降低其質量或改變其特性。典型的乾燥器由一個堅固、密閉的玻璃或塑料容器組成，通常帶有一個可拆卸的蓋子或蓋子。乾燥器內部有一個平台或架子，上面放置需要保護或幹燥的物質。乾燥器內裝有幹燥劑，乾燥劑是一種吸濕材料，有助於維持低濕度環境。常見的乾燥劑包括矽膠、無水鹽（如氯化鈣或高氯酸鎂）或活性炭。

乾燥器通常用於各種實驗室應用，如儲存對濕度敏感的化學品、保存吸濕性樣品或乾燥需要低濕度環境的樣品。在處理對濕度敏感的物質（如某些試劑、有機化合物或對濕度敏感的分析樣品）時，乾燥器尤其有用。
