Amber Acrylic Desiccators 12" X 12" X 24" High, Two (2) Cubicles Overview
The Amber Acrylic Desiccators 12" X 12" X 24" High, Two (2) Cubicles (model PLA861CGANS) is a sealed desiccator cabinet from Yamato Scientific, available through LabSupplies.com, authorized dealer. Two independent cubicles within a 12" × 12" × 24" amber acrylic enclosure protect hygroscopic materials, research specimens, and sensitive electronics from dust and moisture.
Constructed from amber-tinted acrylic, this cabinet filters UV light while keeping contents fully visible. Transparent walls let technicians verify samples without opening a door and disturbing the controlled environment. Each cubicle seals independently, so storage conditions in one section stay isolated from the other during access.
Footprint stays compact at 12" × 12" (304.8 × 304.8 mm) with a 24" (609.6 mm) vertical profile, fitting tight bench and storage spaces. Manufactured in the USA, the unit ships from domestic inventory and carries GTIN 797059933174 under UNSPSC code 41123000.

How to Choose the Right Desiccator
Matching a desiccator to your workflow comes down to capacity, material, compartment layout, and visibility. Review these axes against the samples you store and the access frequency your lab requires.
- Capacity and footprint: confirm the 12" × 12" × 24" interior accommodates your specimen volume and fits the available bench or shelf space.
- Material and tint: amber acrylic adds UV filtering for photosensitive contents, while clear acrylic suits items unaffected by light.
- Cubicle configuration: multiple independent cubicles isolate conditions and reduce moisture exposure each time one section is opened.
- Visibility: transparent walls allow inventory checks without breaking the seal, valuable for frequently audited samples.
- Sealing integrity: a tight, gasketed cabinet sustains the dust- and moisture-free environment hygroscopic materials demand.
