SICCO Star Desiccator Antistatic
The SICCO Star Desiccator Antistatic has been specially developed for laboratories in biology, chemistry, pharmacy and medicine that require a reliable solution for drying and storing sensitive samples. This device impresses with its robust construction, antistatic properties and precise temperature control. This allows samples to be stored under stable conditions, cultivation processes to be supported and sensitive substances to be protected from moisture. Anyone who wants to ensure precise, clear and safe working will find this desiccator to be an efficient alternative to other models on the market.
Description and advantages
The desiccator was designed by Bohlender to ensure the most even possible distribution of temperature and humidity. An ergonomic control panel and practical transport aids make it easy to use. The stainless steel-lined inner chamber meets high hygiene and stability requirements, which is crucial in everyday laboratory work. Especially in combination with the antistatic design, electrical devices and sensitive components can be operated undisturbed in the immediate vicinity without unwanted charges building up. Another highlight is the option of using optional drawers to separate different samples from each other and create order in complex test setups. Thanks to a central door lock, samples can be securely locked away and protected from external influences during lengthy drying or storage processes. Low power consumption and low noise levels ensure particularly user-friendly operation, which can be particularly relevant in research or clean room laboratories with high noise and cleanliness requirements.
The precisely adjustable temperature via digital display ensures consistent conditions. This reliability is particularly important for sensitive experiments, where any fluctuation can influence the outcome. If required, the temperature can be set from -20 °C for some cooling applications to +70 °C for drying processes, enabling a wide range of application scenarios. Technical features External dimensions: approx. 310 x 525 x 375 mm

The clearly laid out membrane keypad with clearly visible symbols is practical and allows intuitive operation even under time pressure. In addition, the temperature is distributed evenly throughout the entire usable space, which ensures consistent sample quality. The durable stainless steel interior also contributes to high durability and facilitates hygienic cleaning. Certifications and standards To ensure broad applicability in the laboratory environment, all safety and quality-related standards have been met. In addition to CE conformity, compliance with various DIN specifications is a particular priority. These certifications provide assurance that the device operates reliably and in accordance with regulations, which is a basic requirement, especially in research facilities.
- Long-term storage of sensitive chemical substances (e.g. hygroscopic reagents or powders)
- Drying of demanding samples from the food industry, such as spices or extracts
- Stability tests in pharmaceutical development to investigate product changes under different climatic conditions
- Cultivation and observation of microorganisms in biological research laboratories, e.g. for testing new culture media
Thanks to its versatile properties, the device can be used in almost every phase of scientific sample processing and ensures that valuable substances are less susceptible to external influences.
FAQs
How should cleaning be carried out?
Cleaning is best done with mild detergents and a soft cloth to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface. After cleaning, the interior should be thoroughly dried so that no water remains that could affect the samples.
Is it possible to store highly sensitive chemicals?
Yes, provided that the maximum permissible load is not exceeded and the recommended temperature and humidity settings for the respective chemical are observed. The device provides a stable environment and protects the samples from external influences.
Do I need special accessories for very humid samples?
For very humid samples, it may be advisable to use desiccants or an air dryer to achieve the desired climate more quickly. In addition, drawers and inserts increase flexibility in sample organisation.
In which cases is the antistatic function particularly helpful?
Antistatic equipment is particularly important when working with sensitive electronic components or when experiments must not be distorted by electrostatic charges. This minimises sources of error and prevents unnecessary failures.
