Is IMIKEYA on Sale? November 2026

Questions and answers

What is the IMIKEYA U-shaped drying tube used for?

It removes moisture from a gas stream. You pack the U bend with a desiccant such as calcium chloride or silica gel, connect both ends to the line, and the gas passes through the bed before reaching the apparatus. The clear glass lets you see when the desiccant is spent.

What glass is the IMIKEYA drying tube made of?

It is borosilicate glass, the standard for lab glassware because it resists thermal shock and most common chemicals. The transparent wall lets you watch color-change desiccant and check for condensate. It is not quartz, so avoid sudden temperature swings beyond normal lab use.

Does the IMIKEYA drying tube come as a pair?

Yes, this listing is a two-piece set, which lets you keep one tube packed and drying while the other is in service. Both tubes are the same size, so they swap directly into the same line.

What should I check before buying a drying tube?

Match the tube's end diameters to your tubing or stopper size, and confirm the U bend holds enough desiccant for your flow rate. Also check the maximum temperature if you plan to dry the desiccant in place. The product page lists the dimensions for each tube.

How do I clean and refill the tube?

Empty the spent desiccant, rinse the glass with water and then a solvent, and dry it fully before repacking. Use fresh desiccant and a light plug of glass wool at each end to keep granules out of the line. Handle the U bend by both arms to avoid stress cracks.

Are there IMIKEYA discount codes?
