For university testing, lithium battery R&D and new material synthesis: Do you operate yourglove boxfrequently for long hours in experiments? It is common for gloves to suffer from aging, cracking and air leakage. Once the seal fails, moisture and oxygen from ambient air will invade the chamber, which directly ruins your samples. Never take leaking, damaged gloves lightly!
Mikrouna shows you how to replace glove box gloves quickly without stopping the box.
Step 1: After stopping circulation, adjust the chamber pressure to a safe positive pressure. Push the old glove entirely into the glove box, remove the outer sealing ring, then roll the cuff of the old glove outwards to the outermost sealing groove.
Step 2: Install the new glove. Keep the new glove right-side out with the thumb pointing upward, and insert it from outside through the inside of the old glove. Once positioned correctly, flip the cuff of the new glove outward and fully secure it onto the glove port flange. Take out the old glove from inside the chamber. Fit the two sealing rings for the new glove, check that the cuff lies flat without wrinkles and the sealing rings are properly seated. Replacement of one single glove is completed. (Note for footage after 58s: The new glove shown in the shot with two sealing rings is fitted with a single retaining ring.)
Tips: After replacement, always inspect the seal at the glove port. Start purging for 5–10 minutes, or wait until H₂O & O₂ levels drop below 100 ppm before restarting circulation. Resume experiments only after water, oxygen and pressure readings remain stable.
Mikrouna glove boxes deliver a stable water‑free and oxygen‑free working environment for university labs and new‑energy enterprises. Featuring excellent overall sealing performance and a quick‑change glove port design to simplify routine maintenance. Suitable for scientific research, R&D and small‑scale pilot production, it maintains stable and controllable H₂O/O₂ levels to safeguard every sensitive‑material experiment.
