What are Glove Boxes?
Glove Boxes provide a total physical barrier to the internal work area.
Depending on the type of glove box, the physical barrier may:
Protect sensitive material inside from the outside
contamination
(chemicals or particulates)
Protect operators from hazards inside
(chemicals or particulates)
Or both
4. Labconco Precise™ Glove Boxes
Types of Precise Glove Boxes, which to choose?
Controlled Atmosphere Glove Boxes
Creates an inert gas atmosphere
Oxygen and moisture levels are reduced
Using compressed Nitrogen or Argon, O2/H20 levels
can be reduced to a specific level (ex. 1% or
0.0001%)
Example application-high-purity metals and anhydrous chemicals
HEPA Filtered Glove Boxes
Main chamber air volume is vented like a fume hood
All air entering and leaving is HEPA filtered (Air chemistry is not
controlled) Example Application-Potent/toxic drug compounds

Precise™ Controlled Atmosphere Glove Boxes
Maintain inert gas atmospheres, using
pressurized nitrogen or argon gas
Protect air-sensitive materials, i.e.
inorganics, organics, biochemicals,
organometallics
Reduces or eliminates chemical
reactions with oxygen and moisture
contamination
9. Labconco Precise™ Glove Boxes
Precise™ Controlled Atmosphere
Entry level controlled atmosphere box
Can be accessorized to full electronic
control levels
1% to 0.0050% or 10,000 to 50 ppm O2/
H2O
Options include O2/H2O removal and
monitoring systems
10. Labconco Precise™ Glove Boxes
Precise™ Controlled Atmosphere Connections
The transfer chamber is evacuated and refilled to zero pressure, with inert
gas-this removes O2/H20 contaminants
The main chamber is evacuated and pressurized with inert gas repeatedly-
this removes O2/H20 contaminants

11. Labconco Precise™ Glove Boxes
Precise™ HEPA-Filtered Glove Boxes
Provides a physical barrier, protecting the
operator or the product materials inside from
exposure to dangerous particulates
(ex. Hazardous solids vs. Clean Room applications)
Inlet air is HEPA filtered, creating an ISO
Class 5 or Class 100 environment
Exhaust air is HEPA filtered removing
particulates
HEPA = High Efficiency Particulate Air
Air cleanliness standards:
Class 100 = 100 or less, particles at ≥ 0.5 um per cubic foot.
ISO Class 5 Standard = 3,520 or less, particles at ≥ 0.5 um per cubic meter.

pressure)
14. Labconco Precise™ Glove Boxes
Precise HEPA/XPert Air Filtration Systems
Blower speed controller provides adjustable air flow volumes
(CFM = cubic feet per minute).
Internal particulate levels reduced by dilution with HEPA filtered air,
overtime. Dilution Rate = air flow volume ÷ chamber volume
HEPA intake filter
Exhaust HEPA filter
