desiccator
Sealed drying chamber
A desiccator is a container designed to remove moisture from substances or keep them dry.
In laboratories, it's typically an airtight glass or plastic vessel containing a drying agent like silite gel: Store the crystals in a desiccator to prevent them from absorbing humidity.
The term also applies to industrial equipment for large-scale drying processes.
