Jeiotech VDC-11U Cubic UV Vacuum Desiccator – 11 L with Integrated Vacuum Gauge

The Jeiotech VDC-11U is a cubic UV-blocking vacuum desiccator designed specifically for laboratories handling photosensitive and UV-sensitive materials.

With an internal volume of 11 liters, it provides compact vacuum storage while reducing ultraviolet light exposure. The chamber is manufactured from UV-resistant polycarbonate, helping protect samples from photodegradation during storage or drying under vacuum.

The integrated vacuum gauge allows real-time pressure monitoring up to 1 Torr (1.33 × 10⁻⁴ MPa), sustained for more than 72 hours.

UV-Blocking Polycarbonate Construction

Unlike the clear VDC models, the VDC-11U features UV-blocking polycarbonate material, which:

• Reduces UV light transmission

• Protects light-sensitive reagents and compounds

• Minimizes degradation caused by laboratory lighting

• Maintains mechanical strength and transparency

This makes it ideal for applications where UV exposure may affect sample stability.

Cubic Design for Space Optimization

The cubic geometry provides:

• Two perforated shelves standard (expandable to four)

• Efficient vertical sample organization

• Stackable design for laboratory space saving

• Front-opening access for convenient handling

• Integrated vacuum gauge (standard on all VDC models)

Compared to round vacuum desiccators, the cubic design offers improved internal space efficiency and multi-level organization.

Typical Applications

The VDC-11U is ideal for:

• Storage of photosensitive chemicals

• Light-sensitive pharmaceutical compounds

• UV-reactive materials

• Analytical samples prone to photodegradation

• Moisture-sensitive and light-sensitive compounds

It combines UV protection and vacuum control in a compact laboratory solution.
