The dehydrant you're referring to is Drierite - costs about $1 for 100 pounds (that's an exaggeration - but it's really cheap)

Subject: Re: Humidity Problem
Is there any way you can put some Damp-Rid in your cryostat chamber or in the lab? You can get the stuff at any walmart, hardware, etc...type store. Better yet, buy the active ingredient as a chemical and it should be cheaper. A much more expensive alternative, just in case the new a/c doesn't fix the problem... buy a dehumidifier for the lab.
Good luck,
