The Yamato PLA-8615CGNS is a clear 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. It shares the external dimensions of the two-cubicle 861 but provides one continuous 24-inch cavity instead of two stacked compartments — the configuration to choose when a single large or tall item needs dry storage. As with the rest of Yamato's USA-made 860 Series, transparent acrylic walls let you monitor contents without opening the door.

Application Profile
Some items simply do not fit a divided cabinet: a tall column of stacked trays, a long instrument, or bulky glassware needs one continuous cavity. The Yamato PLA-8615CGNS provides exactly that — the full 24-inch interior height of the 861 footprint, undivided — so a single large moisture-sensitive item can sit in a dry, dust-free environment without the shelf or partition of a two-cubicle unit getting in the way.
The trade-off versus the two-cubicle PLA-861CGNS is access discipline: with one compartment, every retrieval opens the entire volume to ambient air, so it 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. Where a single tall item is the whole job, the 8615's undivided cavity is the right call. Transparent acrylic keeps the contents and any humidity indicator visible so the door stays closed between genuine needs; the amber PLA-8615CGANS adds UV filtering for light-sensitive items.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the PLA-8615CGNS? Cabinet dimensions are 12 × 12 × 24 in (304.8 × 304.8 × 609.6 mm) — the tall 861 footprint.
How many compartments does it have? One tall, undivided cubicle spanning the full 24-inch height.
How is it different from the PLA-861CGNS? Both are 12 × 12 × 24 in. The 8615 has one continuous cubicle; the 861 divides the same volume into two independent compartments. Choose the 8615 for a single large or tall item.
Why choose a single tall cubicle? It accommodates one large item — a tall stack, long instrument, or bulky glassware — that a partitioned cabinet cannot hold.
Is there an amber version? Yes — the PLA-8615CGANS is the same single-cubicle 12 × 12 × 24 in cabinet in amber acrylic for light-sensitive contents.
Does it need power? No — it is a passive cabinet used with your choice of desiccant.
