Innovative Technologies Glovebox

The glove box is used by students and faculty doing research in organic and inorganic syntheses which involve the preparation or handling of air and/or moisture sensitive compounds. When working in the glove box, the necessary glassware and chemicals are inserted into an antechamber which is purged with argon. The atmosphere in the glovebox is pure argon that has the oxygen and moisture removed by recirculating the argon through an absorbing chamber.
