Smart® gas-purge glove box automates low-humidity control down to 0% RH
Ideal for moisture-sensitive materials: microelectronics, medical devices, pharmaceutical powders
Gas control system auto-adjusts nitrogen purge to maintain sub-ambient humidity set point
Fast-acting and economical; maintains below 10% RH with 78% less nitrogen than manual flow meter
Fully integrated turnkey system takes only a few minutes to install and program
Smart® controlled atmosphere glove box isolator features automated RH control that toggles nitrogen inflow (binary on/off) for fast setpoint response.
Mini LED display and built-in RH sensor simplifies installation. Operation requires only one gas line, one low voltage power connection, and a pair of gloves.
UL-listed Smart® control module is designed and built to the highest standards required by defense and semiconductor industries for long-term reliability and protection against damage, injuries, and electrical hazards.
NOTE: Extra-tall gloveboxes and gloveboxes with 4 glove ports have much larger chamber volumes and thus require significantly more inert gas and time to reach the specified setpoint. A separate flow meter is mounted on the left side of the glovebox, with the Smart® module on the right side. This allows a more rapid initial purge to quickly reach setpoint. Once the setpoint is reached, the manual flow meter can be closed, and the Smart® control can be used to automatically maintain the user-specified RH setpoint.
Chamber Design:
NOTE: ESD-sensitive applications: grounding is not standard, choose static-control options to protect sensitive materials against ESD.
Opaque white polypropylene offers the best resistance to a wide range of corrosive acids, solvents, and disinfectants. The solid frame and walls feature continuous-seam welds for easy cleaning and maximum protection against chemical splashes and spills.
Removable back wall allows transfer of large process equipment that can't fit through openings.
Access doors mounted on left and right side feature stainless steel frames and hardware to increase structural rigidity for a longer service life.
Round ABS plastic glove ports provide a wide range of motion, and compatibility with numerous glove types. ABS Plastic offers excellent tensile strength and stiffness. Resists heat, most oils, acids, and alkalis.
Automatic relief/bleed (RB) valves continuously bleed off excess internal gas in only one direction. Helps maintain a slight positive pressure inside the glove box without allowing contaminants inside.
Static-dissipative PVC (SD-PVC) viewing window offers chemical resistance and won't shatter into dangerous pieces.
External mounted LED illuminator brightens interior for optimal visibility.
Requires gloves (sold separately): available as one-piece, fully dipped gloves or two-piece glove and sleeve combinations with Glove-Under-Sleeve (GUS) connectors to allow fast, inexpensive glove replacement.
Optional Accessories:
Inert gas airlock: minimize nitrogen loss and contamination inflow when materials are passed through the glove box. The airlock is connected to an inert gas line to purge out ambient air before the inside door is opened to allow materials to transfer into or out of the main chamber.
Nitrogen generator: provides a continuous, reliable supply of pure, dry nitrogen to eliminate dependence on bulky canisters.
ErgoHeight™ automatic height adjusting table: perfect for workstations holding heavy or fragile equipment that require frequent height adjustment.
NOTE: Glove box is designed for positive-pressure operation and is therefore not tested as a hermetically sealed chamber, and is not designed for containment of hazardous materials.

An optional inert gas airlock minimizes nitrogen loss and contamination inflow from materials transferred through the glovebox.
Stainless Steel Inert Glove Box for Medical Devices
Smart® stainless steel glovebox is suitable for heavy-duty, sterile, and ESD-safe applications. CleanSeam™ design features fully-welded single piece enclosure with smooth and seamless interiors to eliminate hard-to-clean cracks and crevices that can harbor contaminants.
Acrylic Inert Glove Box for Moisture-Sensitive Materials
Smart® plastic glove box isolator with low cost Plexiglass acrylic offers durability (17x impact resistance of glass), superior clarity, and UV resistance (won't yellow from exposure to sun).
Polypropylene Inert Glove Box for Corrosive Chemicals
Smart® automatic inert glove box isolator with opaque white polypropylene offers the best resistance to a wide range of corrosive acids, solvents, and disinfectants. The solid frame and walls feature continuous-seam welds for easy cleaning and maximum protection against chemical splashes and spills.
ISO 7 ESD-Safe Inert Glove Box for Microelectronics
Static-dissipative PVC (SD-PVC) construction dissipates electro-static charges and eliminates static-cling of dust particles to help maintain clean surfaces. Bonded dissipative layers resist abrasion and retains surface resistivity of 106 - 108 ohms/square longer than spray-on coatings that can wear off after a few years. Easy to clean with increased chemical resistance to isopropyl alcohol and other cleaning agents.
Polycarbonate Inert Glove Box for Pharmaceutical Packaging
Smart® inert glove box isolator with Lexan polycarbonate offers visual clarity plus several benefits over acrylic. Superior durability cracks less easily with 250x the impact resistance of glass, 15x the impact resistance of acrylic. Chemical resistant formula withstands many cleaning agents such as isopropyl alcohol. Increased thermal resistance (115–130 °C / 239–266 °F) helps withstand repeated steam sterilization.
UL-Listed Smart® Module for Long-Term Reliability
The Smart® module is UL-listed and built to the highest standards required by defense and semiconductor industries for long-term reliability. The compact controller includes an LED display and sensor to eliminate the need for external control boxes. Installation is simple, requiring only one gas and one low voltage power connection.
External LED Illuminator
Light fixture mounted outside the glovebox illuminates the interior and is easy to access. The hinged cover lifts up for LED maintenance or replacement.
High Caliber Hardware
Seemingly small details like latches, ports, glides and hinges are often overlooked or ignored by other manufacturers, and later become the point of costly recurring maintenance or equipment failure. Terra’s products are made of long lasting, cleanroom compatible, top tier hardware. Individual components are carefully designed and rigorously tested to guarantee the highest quality, durability, and craftsmanship.
