Precise HEPA-Filtered Glove Box

Description

Labconco's Precise HEPA-Filtered Glove Box (Catalog 5220200) is a containment system designed to provide a physical barrier between the operator and the materials inside the workspace. It is equipped with two glove ports and utilizes a HEPA filtration system on both the inlet and outlet air streams. This configuration helps maintain a controlled internal environment and protects the user from exposure to hazardous airborne particulates, powders, and aerosols. With external dimensions of approximately 54.3 inches wide, 32 inches deep, and 61.8 inches high, the enclosure offers a substantial workspace. Its applications include forensic toxicology, pharmaceutical research, nanotechnology, and biochemistry. The system can be used for handling materials such as microorganisms, low-level radiochemicals, chemical carcinogens, and asbestos. It may also be suitable for creating an ISO Class 3 cleanroom environment or serving as a containment isolator for compounds with high occupational exposure band (OEB) levels, though specific application validation should be conducted with relevant health and safety personnel.
