The Yamato PLA-863CGNS is the largest clear acrylic desiccator in Yamato's USA-made 860 Series, measuring 24" × 18" × 24" (609.6 × 457.2 × 609.6 mm) and divided into two independent cubicles. Its wide 24-inch span and full-depth compartments provide the highest capacity in the family for dust- and moisture-free storage, while two separately sealed cubicles keep different material sets apart. Transparent acrylic walls let you inspect either compartment's contents without opening it.

Application Profile
The Yamato PLA-863CGNS is the capacity flagship of the 860 Series: a 24-inch-wide, 18-inch-deep cabinet split into two large cubicles for labs that need to keep substantial quantities of moisture-sensitive material dry. The wide format accommodates large glassware, sizeable instrument assemblies, and multiple trays per compartment — volumes that exceed what the 18-inch cube or 12-inch cabinets can hold — making it the choice for core facilities, QC labs, and production-adjacent storage.
Two independent cubicles turn that capacity into managed, separated storage: each seals and opens on its own, so high-frequency access to one compartment does not compromise the dry environment of the other. This is the practical answer to storing two material classes, or two teams' inventory, at scale without a walk-in dry room. Fully transparent acrylic keeps every stored item and humidity indicator visible so doors open only when needed. For photosensitive materials at the same capacity, the amber PLA-863CGANS provides UV-filtering walls.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the PLA-863CGNS? Cabinet dimensions are 24 × 18 × 24 in (609.6 × 457.2 × 609.6 mm) — the largest cabinet in the 860 Series.
How many compartments does it have? Two independent cubicles, each with its own door.
What does the larger size gain me? Wider and deeper storage than the 18-inch cube or 12-inch cabinets — room for large glassware, instrument assemblies, and multiple trays per cubicle.
Why two cubicles instead of one large volume? Independent compartments preserve the dry environment: heavy access to one cubicle does not expose the other, and two material classes stay separated.
Is there an amber version? Yes — the PLA-863CGANS is the same two-cubicle 24 × 18 × 24 in cabinet in amber acrylic for light-sensitive samples.
Does it need power? No — it is a passive cabinet used with your choice of desiccant.
Ordering & Configuration
The PLA-863CGNS is catalog-priced; add it to your quote or cart and our team will confirm current pricing and lead time. It ships ready to use with desiccant; plan bench or floor space for the 24-inch-wide cabinet.
Warranty: Per Yamato standard terms.
Positioning: The Yamato PLA-863CGNS is the largest, highest-capacity two-cubicle clear desiccator in the 860 Series — choose it when you store substantial quantities of moisture-sensitive material with separation. Drop to the PLA-862CGNS (18-inch cube) for less capacity, or choose the amber PLA-863CGANS for light-sensitive storage.
