The Mini glove box from Cole-Parmer is said to provide an ergonomic and isolated work area for manipulating biological samples.
The glove box is compact and is designed to work with biological samples that require containment from the general laboratory environment.
This isolator is lightweight and can be moved from lab to lab easily.
The entire glove box weighs 34kg and has a work area measuring 31.5 x 21.5 x 25.5in.
The glove box measures 49 x 22 x 29in overall, including transfer chamber.
The transfer chamber is transparent with dimensions of 10 x 9.75in with a vacuum gauge.
The body is constructed with an unbreakable and see-through angled acrylic giving a clear view of the operations being carried out within the glove box.
It is a two-piece structure held together with steel clamps, making it air-tight and water-tight for complete containment.
The gel that seals the glove box is a non-silicone material to prevent contamination and growth of microbiological material and keep the contents water-tight and air-tight.
A pair of 9 1/2 size gloves is included with the glove box.
A 12in door allows easy access to samples to be kept or removed from the chamber.
Electrical equipment can be used inside the chamber via two electrical outlets.
For humidity control, an adjustable humidity gauge is provided.
Four valves allow entry and purging of gases within the chamber.
Glove boxes and isolators are used to prevent contact between potentially hazardous materials with the outside environment or operating personnel.
Besides containment, glove boxes are also available to control other environmental parameters such as temperature, moisture and oxygen.
