You picked a Blemished item
This version has a minor cosmetic or print defect — a small mark, blemish, or imperfection from the 3D-printing process. It’s offered at a lower price because we can’t sell it as new.
- 100% functional — protects your vials exactly the same.
- Cosmetic flaw only — appearance varies slightly unit to unit.
- Discounted & final sale.

What it is: a refillable holder for silica gel beads that keeps the inside of your vial case dry. It does not hold or protect a vial - it takes the place of one vial in an empty slot of your case, and the beads inside soak up moisture.
How it works
- Unscrew the cap.
- Fill the holder with 2 to 5 mm silica gel beads (beads not included).
- Screw the cap back on and drop the holder into an empty 3 mL or 10 mL vial slot in your case.
- When color-indicating beads change color, dry the beads in the oven (never the holder) and refill.
Which size do I need?
- 3 mL slot size: for a case with 3 mL vial slots (slot 17.5 mm across or wider). The holder is 16.5 mm x 39 mm
- 10 mL slot size: for a case with 10 mL vial slots (slot 26 mm across or wider). The holder is 25.4 mm x 54 mm
Key Features
- Hex-cage openings about 1.3 mm across keep standard 2 to 5 mm silica gel beads in while air moves through
- Flush screw-on cap with a printed buttress thread, so the holder sits neatly beside your vials
- Refillable: ships empty and works with any 2 to 5 mm silica gel beads, including color-indicating beads
- Fridge and freezer safe construction holds up in cold storage
- Made to order in Las Vegas, Nevada in Black, RGB Metallic, or Galaxy Blue
Care
- Hand wash only with cold water
- Not dishwasher safe
- Dry the silica gel beads in the oven, never the holder itself
Good to know
- Silica gel beads are not included
- In the 10-Slot 3 mL case, the holder sits right beside neighboring vials
- RGB Metallic finish features a natural color-shift variation between items
