STX2 Vacuum Stainless Steel Glove Box

Vacuum Stainless Steel Glove Box with Airlock Chamber

Overview

This vacuum stainless steel glove box provides a sealed working environment for handling air-sensitive and moisture-sensitive materials under an inert atmosphere. It is designed for laboratories that need a practical enclosure for sample preparation, transfer, sealing and pre-test handling without the complexity of a full recirculating purification glovebox.

Working Principle

The system operates by evacuating the chamber and airlock, then backfilling with a high-purity inert gas such as argon, helium or nitrogen. This vacuum-and-refill process reduces oxygen and moisture before sensitive samples are introduced into the main chamber. The airlock chamber allows researchers to transfer materials in and out while minimising disturbance to the protected workspace, making it suitable for routine handling of reactive powders, electrodes, salts and assembled components.
