5. After the bags of desiccant have been allowed to cool in an airtight desiccator,

they may be removed and placed in either an appropriate type polyliner
tightly sealed to prevent moisture adsorption, or a container that prevents
moisture from coming into contact with the regenerated desiccant. Some care
should be taken when re-activating desiccant bags. If heated in an oven which
is too hot, the bags may burst. If in any doubt, we recommend purchasing
new desiccant packs instead of oven drying. Failure to use or exchange the
desiccant may lead to condensation inside the enclosure. Not only will this
lead to corrupted data but, in the long term, can also cause corrosion which is
expensive to repair.
