It is important for you to understand the benefits and limitations of different inert atmosphere systems before making the investment. If you are looking for a robust, easy-to-use system, the Ossila Glove Box is the perfect choice for you.

Choosing the right glove box for your needs is important. The system should be suitable for your samples, experimental requirements, laboratory environment, and budget.

There are several important components to consider when designing a glove box. Importantly, they should be designed to reduce leakage as much as possible.

The design of a laminar flow hood is critical to the quality of its performance. To optimize the performance, various design features must be considered and tested. Components such as the filter system, fan system, and structure greatly influence the air cleanliness, speed, and uniformity.

The Ossila Glove Box is designed to be easy to install and maintain, and is suitable for most laboratories. Its small footprint and quick set up also means that it is relatively portable and can be conveniently transferred between labs as required.

Our laminar flow hood arrives flat-packed. This gives you the flexibility to set up your unit in either a vertical or a horizontal configuration, and switch between configurations if needed.

Glove box gloves must be flexible and relatively thin to allow movement within the main chamber. This will be the most vulnerable exposure point to air and moisture as small holes can easily occur here.

Laminar flow hoods use pre-filters and HEPA filters to create an environment with very low levels of contamination. It is important to know when and how to replace these filters, without risking contamination to the environment.

There are a number of steps that you as the glove box user can take to ensure that the inert atmosphere remains intact. It is also important to be able to quickly identify, troubleshoot, and fix problems as they occur.

Ossila laminar flow hoods are designed for effortless setup, user-friendly operation, and efficient control. This short video guide shows you how to get started with your new equipment.

Materials processed within a glove box can directly impact the quality of the atmosphere and the ability of the system to maintain an inert atmosphere.

Feedthrough points allow you to pass lines and cables from the external to the internal environment. There are several different ways to create the required feedthroughs in your glove box.

Our glove boxes run at an overpressure, so if the leak is small, the glove box may still be able to maintain the integrity of the internal atmosphere. However, during this time, the glove box will use a much larger amount of inert gas than normal as the overpressure in the glove box will result in a flow of gas from the inside of the system to the outside.

If you suspect a leak, the first thing you should do is perform a leak test. Leak tests raise the glove box to an extreme positive or negative pressure and then measure the rate of change of pressure over a period of time.

A glove box is suitable for a variety of applications across the world of science and research. From organic electronics to additve manufacturing, the inert atmosphere provided by a glove box is critical in many settings.

To maintain a clean and germ-free environment in a laboratory, it is a good idea to use a laminar flow hood.

Film and device encapsulation involves applying thin protective layers onto the surface of your electronic devices. Encapsulating your devices inside a glove box environment limits their exposure to contaminants

To achieve successful thin-film deposition via spin coating, it is crucial to minimize particle contamination. A vertical laminar flow hood can create a contamination free environment.

There are multiple ways of defining how much moisture is present in the air. With clear definitions, guidance on converting values, and a simple conversion table, you will easily be able to work with any of the available definitions to control the moisture content in your glove box environment.

Although the idea behind a laminar flow hood is simple, the implementation of a clean air flow is quite complex. The formation and preservation of optimal air flow characteristics within the hood are essential to maintain a contaminant-free workspace.

Argon and nitrogen are both unreactive gases which can be used to create an inert environment within a glove box. Both gases will efficiently displace air within a confined space, are easy to store and will not react with most materials. Therefore, both N2 and Ar can create a glove box environment with very low moisture and oxygen levels.

While these pieces of equipment seem similar, their functions, applications, and design principles are different. This article offers a comprehensive comparison between both pieces of equipment, outlining their purposes and advantages.

Glove boxes can be maintained at positive pressure or negative pressure. Both create atmospheres separate from ambient, keeping a barrier between your materials and the external lab environment.

A laminar flow hood and a glove box both provide controlled environments to be used in laboratory settings, but they have distinct differences in terms of their features and functions within the laboratory.
