Amber Acrylic Desiccators 12" X 12" X 6" High, One (1) Cubicle Overview
The Amber Acrylic Desiccators 12" X 12" X 6" High, One (1) Cubicle (model PLA8605CGANS) is a single-cubicle desiccator cabinet from Yamato Scientific, supplied by LabSupplies.com as an authorized dealer. Sealed against dust and moisture, this 12" × 12" × 6" unit protects hygroscopic materials, research specimens, and sensitive electronic components.
Molded from acrylic with an amber, UV-filtering tint, the cabinet shields light-sensitive contents while keeping them visible. Walls stay transparent enough to inspect stored items without opening the door, which limits humidity intrusion during routine checks. One enclosed cubicle gives technicians a clean, controlled storage volume.
Compact exterior dimensions of 12" × 12" × 6" (304.8 × 304.8 × 152.4 mm) suit crowded benchtops and shared workstations. This is a passive desiccator cabinet, so no electrical connection or voltage is required. Country of origin is the United States, and each unit ships as a single EA.

How to Choose the Right Desiccator
Match the cabinet to what you store and how often you access it. The right choice balances protection, capacity, and bench space.
- Capacity and cubicle count: one cubicle suits a single category of materials; multiple cubicles separate incompatible items, so confirm how many compartments your workflow needs.
- Tint and light protection: an amber, UV-filtering body protects light-sensitive specimens and reagents, while clear bodies prioritize unobstructed viewing.
- Material: acrylic offers transparent walls and chemical considerations differ from glass or polycarbonate, so weigh visibility against your handling environment.
- Footprint: exterior dimensions determine bench fit; verify the 12" × 12" × 6" envelope clears your available space.
- Sealing and visibility: a sealed door limits moisture intrusion, and transparent walls reduce how often you open it to check contents.
