Performance Features
The Precise Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box comes fully equipped with six
valves, pressure relief valve, and two pressure gauges. The Precise Controlled
Atmosphere Glove Box is designed to meet the needs of the laboratory scientists
requiring an inert atmosphere for sensitive ambient air operations. Labconco has
engineered the Precise Controlled Atmosphere Glove Boxes to meet the ISO
10648-2 Class 1 atmosphere leak specification. The Precise Controlled
Atmosphere Glove Box protects the technician from hazardous materials and
protects valuable laboratory materials from the effects of oxygen and moisture
exposure. The Precise Controlled Atmosphere Glove Boxes provide a leak tight
environment for manufacturing and chemical research procedures. The Precise
Basic Glove Box allows the end user to customize the glove box or use the glove
box in its simplest form. See Figure 4-1 to refer to a detailed description of the
Precise Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box main performance features.
1. Molded One-Piece Chemically-Resistant Glove Box Shell made of
medium density polyethylene, which provides superior chemical
resistance. The molded liner is seamless and easy to clean with coved
interior corners.
2. Six Manual Valves are installed on the controlled atmosphere glove box;
four on the main glove box chamber and two on the transfer chamber.
Two of the four valves on the main glove box chamber should be used for
vacuum purge and gas fill operations to develop an inert or controlled
atmosphere. The two valves on the transfer chamber are used to purge
and fill the transfer chamber, removing ambient air contaminants, and
preserving the controlled atmosphere within the main chamber when
transferring materials. The six valves can be installed separately on
Precise Basic Glove Boxes with modification to the glove box liner. See
Chapter 7 to order vacuum pumps and valve kits.
