Description
The GLOVE BAG is:
Convenient - It is used like a rigid glove box but has much greater flexibility. It is made of 3mil thick polyethylene, with integral gloves. Equipment is placed in Glove Bag through the equipment sleeve and the bag is then inflated.
Disposable - It is economical enough to be used once and discarded, if contaminated, but it's durable and it can be used over again if desired.
Versatile - Glove Bag is great for keeping air sensitive materials from contact with air moisture. Use it whenever inert atmosphere is needed in reactions or in handling reagents.
Economical - Even if you have a rigid glove box in your lab, consider the Glas-Col Glove Bag. It can be purged faster than a glove box, with less gas, and can be easily adapted to fit your special needs. The Glove Bag can facilitate any work you are doing with air sensitive materials.
The glove bag provides little user protection from materials which permeate the polyethylene or are emitted through the access opening. Therefore use in a fume hoods is suggested to improve safety.
Forensic - investigate samples, bones
Environmental/Water - non hazardous, moisture sensitive, portable for field use
Chemical/Petrochemical - moisture sensitive fine chemicals
Pharmacuetical - protective atmosphere
