Superior Material & Build QualityFabricated from premium 304 stainless steel and equipped with a toughened 5mm glass window, the glovebox system blends durability with optimal visibility. The floor-mounted structure and stainless-steel shelves enhance reliability and longevity for intensive lab operations.
Advanced Environmental ControlWith precise regulation capabilities, this glovebox maintains temperatures from ambient to 60C, humidity between 10%-80% RH, and ensures gas purity using an integrated HEPA and activated carbon purification unit. Operators can configure the working atmosphere using nitrogen, argon, or custom inert gases to match research requirements.
Enhanced Safety & UsabilitySafety interlocks secure access, while a vacuum sealing gasket minimizes leakage to below 0.05 vol%/hr. UV sterilization and noise levels below 60 dB contribute to both contaminant control and a comfortable working environment. Digital and manual controls provide versatile operation.
Flexible Testing & MonitoringA wide range of specimen sizes (up to 250mm x 350mm) and up to four simultaneous samples are supported. Test speeds are variable up to 50 mm/s with adjustable stroke lengths to 300 mm, offering customizable test routines. The LED display and rapid response sensors ensure accurate monitoring.
FAQ's of Glovebox Systems:
Q: How does the glovebox system ensure a contamination-free environment during sensitive procedures?
A: The glovebox system uses a combination of vacuum sealing gasket, integrated HEPA and activated carbon filtration, and inbuilt UV sterilization to maintain an ultra-clean, inert environment. The controlled atmosphere-nitrogen, argon, or custom gases-further reduces contamination risk.
Q: What types of laboratory applications are suitable for this glovebox system?
A: This glovebox is ideal for laboratory testing, chemical handling, sensitive material transfers, and research in pharmaceutical and scientific institutes. Its versatile configuration supports work with hazardous or moisture/air-sensitive specimens.
Q: When should I use the UV sterilization cleaning feature?
A: UV sterilization can be activated before, after, or between procedures to maintain aseptic conditions, especially when changing specimen types or performing activities requiring a pathogen-free workspace. The process is quick and enhances contaminant control.
Q: Where are the controls and interface ports located on the glovebox system?
A: All digital and manual controls are conveniently placed within easy reach at the front access door. Interface ports (RS232 and USB) are also accessible from the front panel for seamless device connectivity and data management.
Q: What benefits does the integrated LED lighting provide during operations?
A: LED illumination offers consistent, energy-efficient lighting, improving visibility for delicate procedures and ensuring clear observation of specimens through the 5mm toughened glass window-even during extended use.
Q: How does the glovebox system accommodate various specimen sizes and tests?
A: This system features adjustable shelves and a customizable test range. It supports specimens up to 250mm x 350mm and allows testing up to four samples at once. Test speed and stroke length can be modified as needed for different materials or protocols.
