Found this in one of our desiccators yesterday.

No wonder the DrieRite’s always purple.

Yes – I have seen this happen before. Large shared desiccators in the lab and sometimes very oddball materials placed in them. Volitle amines and other liquid reagents. In addition many of our desiccators where of the vacuum variety. Even very bright people have brain farts and don’t think sometimes.
