Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Protector
Glove Box manufactured with fiberglass or stainless steel in a single or double
width configuration. The Protector Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box comes
equipped with four manual valves, pressure relief bubbler and either analog
chamber pressure gauge indicators, or digital pressure gauge indicators. The
Protector Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box is manufactured with either manual or
automatic pressure control in single or double width. Combination glove boxes
utilize automatic pressure control and feature HEPA or ULPA filters with integral
blower. See Figures 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4 at the end of Chapter 1. The glove boxes
are designed to provide an effective physical barrier between the laboratory and the
glove box interior. The barrier provides three distinct advantages. First, it helps
protect the technician from hazardous materials. Second, it protects materials and
laboratory equipment inside the main chamber from the effects of exposure to
ambient air, oxygen, and moisture levels. Third, it provides a protective, leak-tight
environment for your research, testing, or production procedures.
The permeation rate for stainless steel glove boxes is less than 0.16 ppm/min as
tested to ISO 10648-2 test methods. The permeation rate for fiberglass glove
boxes is less than 0.30 ppm/min as tested to ISO 10648-2 test methods. Each
Protector Glove Box is helium leak tested at the factory to ensure no individual
leaks greater than 1 x 10
