Amber Acrylic Desiccators 12" X 12" X 12" High, One (1) Cubicle Overview
The Amber Acrylic Desiccators 12" X 12" X 12" High, One (1) Cubicle (model PLA860CGANS) is a sealed acrylic desiccator cabinet from Yamato Scientific, supplied by LabSupplies.com as an authorized dealer. Measuring 12" × 12" × 12", this single-cubicle unit maintains a dust- and moisture-free environment for sensitive laboratory contents.
Molded from amber-tinted acrylic, the cabinet filters ultraviolet light while keeping stored items fully visible through its transparent walls. A single sealed cubicle protects research specimens, hygroscopic materials, and sensitive electronic components. Technicians verify contents without opening the door, preserving the controlled interior.
Built in the USA, this passive cabinet requires no electrical connection and operates at ambient conditions. Its 12-inch cube footprint suits standard benchtops and storage shelving. Each unit carries GTIN 797059933167 and ships from US inventory through LabSupplies.com.

How to Choose the Right Desiccator
Selecting a desiccator cabinet comes down to matching chamber size, light protection, and storage organization to the materials you need to keep dry. Weigh these criteria before ordering.
- Chamber size: confirm the interior accommodates your largest specimen or instrument; this unit offers a 12" × 12" × 12" exterior cube.
- Tint and light protection: amber acrylic filters UV light, making it suited to photosensitive samples that clear cabinets cannot protect.
- Number of cubicles: a single cubicle keeps storage simple; multi-cubicle units segregate materials when humidity needs differ.
- Visibility: transparent walls let technicians check contents without breaking the seal, reducing moisture intrusion.
- Footprint: match the 12-inch cube to available bench or shelf space.
- Material: acrylic offers clarity and chemical-handling suitability for general lab storage.
