Glove Box by Vacuum Technology Inc for Controlled and Safe Laboratory Environments

Vacuum Technology Inc offers innovative glove box systems that create a closed and controllable environment for operations helping the researchers and engineers to perform the experimental operations in the most desired manner. 

The glove boxes manufactured by Vacuum Technology Inc are leak-tight due to the excellent sealing designs thus preventing the entry of moisture and oxygen and other contaminants in the sealed environment. Not only does this prevent the intrusion of airborne impurities but it also maintains the oxygen level within the enclosure however it is required to be set. For instance, when a chemical reaction is to be Baker employs the use of a glove box to fill the chamber with nitrogen and argon or apply vacuum pressure to expel oxygen, creating an oxygen-free environment for the controlled continuation of the reaction.

The level of coverage for the gas control system in a glove box is significantly high. The constituents and concentrations of the atmosphere within the box are changed according to how the experiment is conducted. Such a precise control requirement allows the glove room to be used in a variety of different experiments and processes like chemical synthesis where inert gas is used, biological tests which require sterile conditions or processes in semiconductor industry where an extremely clean ambient is required. This versatility enables glove boxes to be applied in vast applications, making every experiment conducted in the most suitable conditions.

Users’ safety is also one of the major issues the design of the glove box has to address. During the experiment, the operator touches the experimental materials via special gloves thus negating the need to step or dip inside the glove box, hence eliminating the exposure of external contaminants and even decreasing the chances of the personnel’s touch coming into contact with poisonous or hazardous chemicals. Therefore, environmentally controlled glove boxes provide safe solutions for highly dangerous experiments or those involving hazardous substances as well as owing to the  glove box’s design which helps to prevent contamination.

The glove boxes produced by Vacuum Technology Inc. are used in a broad sphere of chemistry, drug industry, electronics, materials science and more. In chemistry, for example, a researcher can perform the chemical reaction without any presence of oxygen or water in order to preserve the accuracy of the reaction and the integrity of the materials used. In the pharmaceutical industry, glove boxes create the necessary conditions for the effective design and making of sterile drugs. In the electronics industry, glove boxes offer a contamination-free working environment for the manufacture and assembling procedures of high-precision parts and components in order to eliminate the dust and other airborne contaminants effects on the components’ performance.
