Glove Box

Description:

A glove box is a sealed container with built-in gloves that allows users to handle objects in a controlled environment. These boxes are typically used in laboratories, cleanrooms, and manufacturing facilities where it’s necessary to manipulate objects in a controlled atmosphere, such as under inert gas or in a low-humidity environment.

Regular maintenance and inspection of the glove box, including checking for leaks and ensuring the integrity of gloves and seals, are also important for safe operation.

Description

Applications

Chemical Handling
Glove boxes are commonly used for handling sensitive materials or performing reactions that require an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation or contamination.
Electronics Manufacturing
In electronics manufacturing, glove boxes are used for assembling and testing components in a controlled environment to prevent damage from moisture or contaminants.
Biomedical Research
Glove boxes are used in biomedical research laboratories for handling biological samples and sensitive materials under sterile conditions.
Nanotechnology
In nanotechnology research, glove boxes are used for handling nanoparticles and other nanomaterials to prevent contamination and maintain a controlled environment.
Aerospace
Important in the development and testing of materials and components used in space exploration, where controlled environments are critical.
