HENCH Infrared Electronic Moisture-proof Cabinet

Guarding Millions of Infrared Spectrometers and Building a Solid Defense Line for Laboratory Precision Protection

In scientific research and industrial testing environments such as universities, pharmaceutical laboratories, chemical material analysis, and environmental inspection centers, the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) is a core precision instrument.

However, behind its high-precision analytical capability lies a hidden vulnerability: moisture damage. In high-humidity environments, critical optical components such as KBr, CaF₂, ZnSe windows, ATR crystals, beam splitters, and detectors are extremely sensitive to humidity. Even slight moisture exposure can lead to deliquescence, coating failure, optical path deviation, spectral baseline drift, and ultimately unreliable test results.

In severe cases, laboratories face interrupted experiments, wasted consumables, and even permanent damage to expensive core components. A single repair can cost tens of thousands, making humidity control a persistent and costly challenge.

The HENCH Infrared Electronic Moisture-proof Cabinet (MRD/LAG series) is designed specifically to solve this problem across the full lifecycle of FTIR instruments, providing stable, intelligent, and long-term humidity protection.

Why Moisture Becomes the Silent Killer in Infrared Laboratories

Moisture does not damage instantly. It works slowly and continuously, making it more dangerous than visible equipment failure.

In laboratory environments, humidity causes:

• Optical window deliquescence
• Coating degradation
• Beam misalignment
• Spectral instability
• Reduced measurement accuracy

These issues directly affect data reliability and experimental repeatability, which are critical in research and industrial quality control.

In short, uncontrolled humidity means uncontrolled data.

Precise Humidity Control: The Core of Instrument Protection

The HENCH moisture-proof cabinet is built around intelligent humidity regulation technology.

Intelligent Control System

• Adjustable humidity range: 20%–50% RH
• Accuracy: ±3% RH
• Optimal FTIR protection range: 30%–40% RH

The system continuously monitors internal conditions and automatically adjusts dehumidification without manual intervention.

Dual Dehumidification Technology

• Renewable molecular sieve film
• Solid-state dehumidification system

Unlike traditional desiccants, the system actively removes water molecules instead of absorbing them passively, preventing condensation and dripping inside the cabinet.
