The portable dry ice maker from Scilogex outclasses other models on the market. It is the fastest way of manufacturing dry ice for the laboratory, generating approximately 1 kg of solid CO2 in just 1 minute. The dry ice is therefore available ‘on-tap’, and always accessible whenever it is needed in the laboratory. Such immediate access to dry ice can offer considerable cost savings in the laboratory. Our dry-ice maker is safe and simple to use and requires no electrical power. The unit is simply attached to a cylinder of compressed liquid CO2 via a hose with an internal siphon and valve. Because the dry-ice maker creates one solid block of solid carbon dioxide weighing approximately 1 kg, the carbon dioxide sublimates slowly because of the relatively small surface area. The Scilogex dry-ice maker also has the advantage of portability; being compact and lightweight, and easily transported to wherever it is needed.
