COMPACT GLOVE BOXES SG SERIES Controlled Atmosphere This chamber has been designed to provide an enclosure which will enable the operator to replace the ambient room atmosphere with alternative choices, such as NITROGEN, ARGON, PLASMA or other inert type gases.
P OS SIBLE VAR IATIONS OF CONTROLLED AT MOSPHERE GASES There are several possible atmosphere variations when using Yamato Controlled Atmosphere Chambers and glove boxes. However, in all cases when using Controlled Atmosphere Chambers you must use the small amount of Hydrogen to cause the chemical reaction which reduces the Oxygen into water vapor.

Set-up Procedures Place glove box in your desired laboratory location. NOTE: If you have one of the larger units, be very careful when moving the box through narrow doorways. Inspect the gloves for any tears or cuts. If there are any, you will need to replace them before using the glove box.
Technique for Purging the Main Working Chamber From this point on, use the gloves as an indicator of pressure within the glove box. Watch them carefully as they move in and out of the main chamber. Positive pressure pushes the gloves out and negative pressure draws the gloves back into the chamber.
Entry through the Transfer Chamber The transfer chamber is used for inserting materials into and out of the main working chamber without disturbing the main chamber atmosphere. It is important to keep both transfer chamber doors closed during normal operation. This is a safeguard in case the outer door is opened by mistake.
General Maintenance Schedule It is strongly recommended that operators remove all jewelry during use of the glove box (isolator). Weekly: General cleaning (refer to our cleaning procedures) NOTE: This will vary as to your in house protocol. Monthly: Check gloves and gasketing for excessive wear and tear. Check to see if any clamps need adjusting.
Glove Change Out Procedure The glove change out procedure should be well defined and practiced before the actual change out takes place. Establish a contingency plan in case containment is lost. The glove box (isolator) is equipped with glove ports, each with an 8.75ӯ machined groove for the glove ring.
Sterilization / Cleaning Most components consist of thermoplastic and 304 stainless steel. Like any piece of fine laboratory equipment, care should be taken to avoid dropping, mishandling, and misapplication Sterilization This isolator can be sterilized with a diluted alcohol solution such as; 70-30 isopropyl alcohol/filtered water or 70-30 ethanol alcohol/filtered water.
