FAQ

  • Q There are solvents and reactive metals in the glove box. How to deal with them during holidays?

    A There are solvents and reactive metals in the glove box, and special protective measures need to be taken during holidays. For open solvents, it is essential to seal them before leaving during holidays to prevent solvent evaporation from affecting the performance of the glove box. This is because solvent evaporation may cause changes in the atmosphere inside the glove box, affecting the normal operation of the glove box and the safety of experimental items. For valuable and active metals, it is recommended to seal and store them before holidays. This can prevent the circulation from stopping due to insufficient supply of working gas, which can increase the water and oxygen content in the box and cause damage to the samples. Sealed storage of active metals can ensure their stability during holidays, avoid unnecessary reactions or deterioration due to environmental changes, and ensure the continuity of experiments and the integrity of samples.
  • Q What should be done with the glove box in the laboratory during the holiday period?

    A
    During the holiday period, the glove box in the laboratory needs to take the following measures:
    1. Ensure sufficient gas supply during the holiday period and replace a new bottle of working gas.
    2. Ensure that the large and small transition compartments are evacuated to a negative pressure state to prevent the cabin door from not being tightly closed and affecting the atmosphere inside the box.
    3. The glove box should be kept open in a normal cycle and should not be closed.
    4. For valuable and active metals, solvents, etc., it is recommended to seal the lid in advance for storage.
    5. Check if the vacuum pump oil is clean and replace or add oil as needed.
    6. Ensure that the main switch of the glove box is not powered off, and the electrical equipment inside the box can decide whether to power off according to the actual situation.
    These measures help protect the experimental items or instruments inside the glove box and ensure a smooth resumption of experiments after the holiday.
  • Q What are the characteristics of nuclear industry glove boxes?

    A
    The characteristics of the nuclear industry glove box include:
    1. Good sealing, no gas leakage, and equipped with an exhaust system with adjustable exhaust volume;
    2. The inside and outside of the box are made of special stainless steel plates, with a lead plate or lead brick in the middle, and its thickness is determined based on the radiation intensity of the internal radiation source;
    3. Observation windows are generally made of lead glass, and their thickness is determined based on the radiation intensity of the internal radiation source; Internally capable of integrating various required devices;
    4. The operating gloves are imported lead gloves or tungsten gloves;
    5. In addition, the nuclear industry glove box can also be equipped with quick replacement filters or filter cartridges, material transfer devices, bag sealing devices, and quick change glove opening devices to ensure safety and pollution-free operation.
  • Q What is the main purpose of using glove boxes in the field of nuclear research?

    A The main purpose of using glove boxes in the field of nuclear research is to ensure that operators are protected from radioactive threats and to guarantee safety. In the fields of nuclear waste, reprocessing, nuclear energy, and nuclear research, the design of glove boxes strictly adheres to a series of international safety standards such as environmental protection and quality control to ensure the safety of operators.
  • Q What should be noted when operating the glove box?

    A Key points to note when operating the glove box: When preparing for the experiment, arrange the number of drugs and equipment that need to be brought in, and reduce the number of times the transition chamber is used; Before entering the cabin, the items should be thoroughly dried and signed. Before opening the transition cabin door, confirm that there are no other items waiting to be entered. Wear three layers of gloves, lab coat, and goggles throughout the experiment; Slowly extend gloves into the box to prevent pressure from causing circulation to stop; Handle with caution to avoid solvent spills and instrument breakage, shorten the exposure time of drugs, solvents, and reaction systems, and reduce volatilization time. At the end of the experiment, the glove box should be organized and cleaned, and used items should be properly placed. After the items are removed from the compartment, the transition compartment should be ventilated and vacuumed to facilitate subsequent experiments.
  • Q Can I apply hand cream when using a glove box?

    A
    It is generally not recommended to apply hand cream when using glove boxes
    On the one hand, prevent hand cream from contaminating the experimental environment and samples through gloves. Glove boxes are often used for experiments with strict requirements for purity and cleanliness. The volatilization or residue of hand cream components can cause experimental results to deviate or even fail. For example, in semiconductor material experiments, hand cream volatiles may alter material performance and quality.
    On the other hand, hand cream can make gloves greasy and slippery, reduce the precision and flexibility of hand operations, and increase the risk of errors. For example, in fine chemical synthesis experiments, it may cause unstable grip and knock over reagent bottles, causing trouble and potential harm.
    Therefore, it is not recommended to use hand cream when operating glove boxes, and the accuracy and safety of the experiment should be prioritized.
  • Q What is the function of lead glass equipped in nuclear industry isolation glove boxes?

    A The lead glass in the isolation glove box of the nuclear industry has two main functions: clear visibility and safety protection. Lead glass not only has good visibility, allowing operators to clearly observe the situation inside the box, but also has a strong radiation protection effect. Through lead glass, operators can accurately perform various operations without direct contact with radioactive substances, clearly see every detail, and ensure the accuracy and safety of operations. At the same time, the radiation protection function of lead glass is also crucial, as it can effectively block radioactive rays and protect the health of operators.
  • Q What are the important characteristics of nuclear industry glove boxes?

    A The sealing of the isolation glove box in the nuclear industry is crucial as it provides a completely isolated internal environment from the outside world, which is essential for safety during the handling of nuclear materials or related operations. Any small leak could lead to catastrophic consequences. The sealing of a nuclear glove box is like adding a safety lock to nuclear industry operations, allowing operators to work in a relatively safe environment, effectively controlling and managing hazardous substances, and minimizing potential risks. Without such excellent sealing, radioactive substances may spread recklessly, causing incalculable harm to everything around them.
