The Yamato PLA-8615CGANS is an amber acrylic desiccator cabinet measuring 12" × 12" × 24" (304.8 × 304.8 × 609.6 mm) with a single tall, undivided cubicle for dust- and moisture-free storage of light-sensitive materials. It shares the external dimensions of the two-cubicle amber 861 but provides one continuous 24-inch cavity, and its amber acrylic walls filter light to protect photosensitive contents — the configuration to choose when a single large or tall light-sensitive item needs dry storage.

Application Profile
When a tall or bulky photosensitive item needs both dryness and light protection, the Yamato PLA-8615CGANS provides one undivided 24-inch amber cavity for the job. A single continuous compartment accommodates a tall stack of trays, a long instrument, or large glassware without the partition of a two-cubicle unit getting in the way, while the amber acrylic walls shield the contents from light and the sealed cabinet holds a dry, dust-free environment.
The trade-off against the two-cubicle amber PLA-861CGANS is access discipline: one compartment means every retrieval opens the whole volume to ambient air, so the single-cubicle 8615 rewards infrequent, planned access over constant in-and-out use. Where you need separation or want to limit each opening to a smaller compartment, the two-cubicle 861 is the better fit. The clear PLA-8615CGNS is the equivalent single-cubicle cabinet when light protection is not required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the PLA-8615CGANS? Cabinet dimensions are 12 × 12 × 24 in (304.8 × 304.8 × 609.6 mm) — the tall 861 footprint.
Why amber? Amber acrylic filters light to protect photosensitive contents, while staying transparent enough to observe samples without opening the door.
How many compartments does it have? One tall, undivided cubicle spanning the full 24-inch height.
How is it different from the PLA-861CGANS? Both are amber 12 × 12 × 24 in cabinets; the 8615 has one continuous cubicle, the 861 divides the volume into two. Choose the 8615 for a single large or tall item.
Is there a clear version? Yes — the PLA-8615CGNS is the same single-cubicle 12 × 12 × 24 in cabinet in clear acrylic.
Does it need power? No — it is a passive cabinet used with your choice of desiccant.
