Anaerobic chambers are used in experiments that require handling of oxygen sensitive materials. They can be found in microbiology labs and other labs where cell culture experiments that are sensitive to oxygen are performed. Things to consider when selecting an anaerobic chamber include features such as temperature, humidity regulation, if and how many incubators are included, whether the box is gloved or gloveless, and the type of user interface.

The heavy duty vacuum airlock allows sample transfer without changes to the internal atmosphere. The Programmable airlock allows the user to tailor an interchange sequence ideal for their lab experiments.
The Flexible nature of the unit allows for the user to reach deeper and higher into the unit. And the flexible nature of the unit combined with padded base and larger glove ports allows for greater ergonomics vs. a rigid glove box. The optically clear vinyl greatly increases operator vision, and the user does not encounter any glove "fight back" as the flexible nature allows the entire glove box to give with changes to internal volume.
GLOVE BOX DETAILS - The glove box front is made of 20 mil pressed polished clear vinyl with 40 mil vinyl bottom extending 2" (51 mm) up on all sides. It is mounted on a 3/4" (19 mm) plywood base covered with a 1/4" (6 mm) foam pad and heavy vinyl. A 1" (25 mm) aluminum tubular frame supports the glove box. All glove boxes come with a large equipment entry installed opposite the entry lock. This entrance consists of a 20" (50 cm) entry cap that is taped in place after installing large equipment in the glove box.
- Glove ports, 10" x 13" oval opening (25 x 33 cm) on 19" (48 cm) centers, are constructed of a special highly flexible vinyl frosted to prevent cracking and gas leakage at bend points.
- Two 1 1/2" (38 mm) I.D. nipples are attached for electrical wiring input. (Additional nipples may be ordered at the time of purchase.)
- Also included as standard with all glove boxes, is a six receptacle electric outlet.
- Large gloves are supplied with the glove box (replacements or other sizes are available from Coy Laboratory Products).
- The neoprene gloves are placed over a special cuff and then placed in the permanently attached sleeves and taped in place. This system provides a means of replacing damaged gloves without affecting the atmosphere of the glove box. Additional glove ports can be ordered mounted in most positions if requested at the time of purchase.

A special cuff and sleeve-vacuum system allows the operator to work barehanded (or with surgical gloves) inside the glove box. After the operator Gloveless Anaerobic Chambers offer the operator a convenient glove-free ability to handle and inspect samples under low oxygen (0-5 ppm) conditions. A special cuff and sleeve-vacuum system allows the operator to work barehanded (or with surgical gloves) inside the glove box. After the operator inserts their arms into the gloveless sleeves, a foot operated sleeve-vacuum system creates an inert atmosphere in the sleeves prior to removing the Arm Port Plugs. This permits the operator's arms to enter the glove box without compromising the anaerobic chamber atmosphere. Tactile efficiency is improved. The Arm Port Plugs are used to seal the glove box while it is idle.
Units operate similar to other COY anaerobic chambers using a palladium catalyst to remove O2 through a H2 Gas Mix (5%). Equipped with an airlock to establish low O2 conditions prior to transferring samples and instrumentation in/out of the work area.
All COY Polymer Gloveless Anaerobic Chamber include a built in heating system (up to 40° C) and Glove Box Dehumidifier to maintain proper moisture levels through automatic digital control.
From the two basic glove box styles, choose the design which suits your laboratory volume. Select either the compact, all clear, polycarbonate style with automatic purge airlock, or the larger aluminum glove box available with an automatic vacuum airlock.
Features and Advantages of the COY Anaerobic Chambers - Maintains 0-5 parts per million (ppm) oxygen level
- Patented Diagram Top prevents glove fight back and conserves gas consumption making it more economical to operate than competitive units.
- Entire Chamber may be heated or an optional 200 + plate capacity incubator may be purchased.
- Removes oxygen with a anaerobic gas mix (hydrogen 5%) reacting with a palladium catalyst to form a water molecule
- Solid-State Dehumidification unit included
- Automatic Gas Injection System to maintain proper anaerobic gas mix
- Fold away polycarbonate shelves save valuable chamber space
- Removable Back wall included for large equipment entry, optional large side door is also available

The Aluminum units are ideal for labs with chemical resistance needs, due to the ability to upgrade the standard polycarbonate viewing screen to a Tempered Glass, and the Glove Port Panel to an Aluminum style. Rigid Anaerobic units can be manufacture from economical Polymer or the sturdy Aluminum.
The Aluminum units are ideal for labs with chemical resistance needs, due to the ability to upgrade the standard polycarbonate viewing screen to a Tempered Glass, and the Glove Port Panel to an Aluminum style. Aluminum Anaerobic Chambers also have the advantage to upgrade to a gloveless style.
The Polymer units are an easy and economical way to get started with an Anaerobic Chamber. Equipped with a purge only airlock these units are typically half the cost of the other style Anaerobic Chambers. It is important to keep in mind that while less expensive to purchase it may cost more to operate due to the purge only application of the airlock, but in a low volume lab this may be just the unit for you.
Anaerobic Atmosphere The COY Anaerobic Chambers provide a strict anaerobic atmosphere of 0-5 parts per million (ppm) using a palladium catalyst and hydrogen gas mix of 5%. Air is circulated through a Fan Box which is designed to house the wire mesh container of catalyst called a Stak-Pak. The process of removing O2 from the atmosphere can produce moisture so often times these Stak-Paks are filled with desiccant and stacked on top of the Catalyst. The airlock allows sample transfer without changes to the internal atmosphere by equilibrating the O2 levels through a Vacuum and Purge Procedure (Purge only for the Polymer Units).
Patented Diaphragm Top All units come equipped with this feature that allows the chamber to physically adjust to the users hands entering and exiting the glove box. No waiting for expensive electronics to compensate so there is no glove fight back
Gloves The Sleeves are manufactured from a durable neoprene with a separate cuff that allows the attachment/replacement of and inexpensive glove within minutes.
