through superior containment.
These glove boxes effectively contain toxic or noxious particulates when
properly installed and operated. In standard negative or optional positive
pressure operation modes, the glove box can create an ISO standard Class 3
(ISO 14644-1) clean air environment. This glove box uses either HEPA
filters, rated at least 99.99% efficient for 0.3-micron particles or ULPA
filters, rated at least 99.999% efficient for 0.12-micron particles.
The Protector Filtered Glove Boxes offer many unique features to enhance
safety and performance. To take full advantage of them, please acquaint
yourself with this manual and keep it handy for future reference. All glove
box operators must read and understand how filtered glove boxes operate;
please review Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions
before beginning to work with this glove box. Even if you are an
experienced user, please review Chapter 5: Using Your Filtered Glove Box,
which describes the Protector features so that you can use the filtered glove
box effectively and safely.
