Collapsible cleanroom glovebox isolator for fieldwork

Published: 20-Mar-2017

Terra Universal says the EZ-UP Glovebox Isolator is a low cost solution for packaging, fieldwork, handling forensic samples, chemical mixing or quality-control tasks

Terra's new collapsible EZ-UP Glovebox Isolator is ideal for packaging, field work or handling delicate forensic samples.

The softwall, 40 mil vinyl is anti-static, flame-resistant and easy to store when not in use; simply deflate the enclosure and tuck away.

To use the glovebox, inflate with inert gas such as nitrogen or argon. Multiple purge/bleed cycles are unnecessary to remove moisture and oxygen, saving time and process-gas expense.

The economical enclosure is also a solution for labs on a budget, or who need dedicated work stations for specific applications such as chemical mixing or quality-control tasks.

Once filled with nitrogen, positive pressure is maintained for weeks. Use a flowmeter to keep the enclosure connected to a nitrogen source, insuring constant pressure. Terra's Relief/Bleed (RB) Valve works in tandem to prevent over-pressurisation.

Vinyl panels are securely RF-welded together, and openings are made with zippers; equipment and samples can be placed inside using the standard zippered entries or optional collapsible airlocks.
