Sample Storage Shipping Containers

Overview

Standard size EM-Storr vacuum desiccators

There are more requirements now to store and ship sensitive samples under vacuum. The EM-Storr vacuum sample storage container is specifically designed for this task. This container has been specifically developed to store and protect SEM / FIB / TEM samples and calibration standards under vacuum. It protects valuable samples from air, moisture and dust. The superior EM-Storr vacuum container is constructed using high vacuum compatible materials: vacuum grade aluminum, a hardened safety glass lid, NBR O-ring and an all metal high vacuum valve with PTFE shaft seal. To reduce out-gassing and to hold vacuum for extended periods, the inside surface is machined vacuum grade aluminum with a glass lid. The EM-Storr vacuum desiccator is capable of reaching a vacuum in the 10-4 mbar range. The vacuum connection for pump-down is a 6mm (1/4”) barbed hose fitting – compatible with 6mm thick wall silicon vacuum hose.  The EM-Storr vacuum containers are stack-able; the octagonal design is optimized for handling, strength and weight.
