These perforated polypropylene discs are designed as replacement or additional platforms for Polylab vacuum and plain desiccators. The five sizes correspond to standard Polylab desiccator diameters: 150mm (SP1118), 200mm (SP1119), 250mm (SP1120), 300mm (SP1121), and 380mm (SP1123). They are intended to fit the internal dimensions of these desiccators, resting on the internal support ledge. For specific compatibility questions, please contact Polylab customer service with your desiccator model information.
The numerous tiny holes in the disc serve two purposes: they allow air circulation (air troughs) between the desiccant below and the samples above, ensuring that moisture from the air around samples can reach the desiccant for absorption. They also prevent samples from coming into direct contact with the desiccant material while still allowing moisture exchange. This design provides efficient desiccation while protecting samples.
The big hole in the centre of the disc is designed for easy lifting and removal. You can insert a finger through the hole to lift the disc straight up and out of the desiccator without tilting it, which could cause samples to slide or spill. This ergonomic feature makes accessing desiccant or cleaning the desiccator much easier and safer.
Yes, polypropylene is autoclavable at standard sterilization temperatures (121°C). These discs can be autoclaved for sterile applications or thorough cleaning. However, repeated autoclaving may eventually affect the material over time. For routine decontamination, cleaning with appropriate laboratory detergents is often sufficient.
Cleaning is simple: wash with warm water and mild laboratory detergent, using a soft brush if needed to remove residue from the perforations. Rinse thoroughly with distilled water. For stubborn residues, use appropriate solvents compatible with polypropylene. Allow to air dry completely before placing back in the desiccator. The smooth polypropylene surface is easy to clean and resists chemical attack.
This depends on your specific desiccator model and internal height. Some desiccators may have space for multiple discs with appropriate supports, allowing you to increase sample capacity. However, standard Polylab desiccators typically accommodate one disc that rests on the internal ledge. Check your desiccators design and available height before attempting to use multiple discs.
These perforated polypropylene discs are available in five sizes to match standard Polylab desiccator diameters: 150mm (Code SP1118), 200mm (Code SP1119), 250mm (Code SP1120), 300mm (Code SP1121), and 380mm (Code SP1123). Each size is supplied individually.
Each perforated polypropylene disc is supplied individually, with one piece per pack for all five sizes. This allows you to order exactly the size and quantity needed for your desiccator maintenance or expansion requirements.
While polypropylene has good heat resistance, it may not withstand direct contact with very hot (incandescent) crucibles. For cooling hot crucibles in a desiccator, porcelain discs are recommended as they can tolerate higher temperatures. Use the polypropylene disc for room-temperature samples only. If you need to place warm samples, allow them to cool somewhat before placing on the polypropylene disc.
Replace the disc if you notice: 1) Visible cracks, warping, or damage, 2) Staining or contamination that cannot be removed, 3) Loss of structural integrity (disc no longer sits flat), or 4) As part of routine preventive maintenance. A damaged disc may not provide stable sample support and could compromise sample safety.
