Glove Box Atmospheres

Laboratory glove boxes are essentially ‘environmental playgrounds’, where scientists can manipulate a custom gaseous atmospheres without the concerns of contaminating a sample, or releasing toxic fumes.

Using the Fusion Flow MXM gas mixer, a glove box can be pressurized with a specialized gas mixture to shield a reaction, create a reaction, or even to replicate a specific atmosphere (the surface of Mars for example).

The MXM can be configured to fill a test chamber with a particular total volume (or total pressure) of the mixed gas.

If a bleed vent is installed on the glove box, the contained volume can be continually purged with a specific gas mixture, or even an actively changing blend. If desired, the enclosure can be kept at a user-specified pressure as well.
