Smart® Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box Isolators

Terra’s Smart® glove box includes a nitrogen control module that maintains a low-humidity set point to protect oxygen- and moisture-sensitive parts; takes only seconds to program. An optional inert gas airlock minimizes nitrogen loss and contamination inflow from materials transferred through the glovebox.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Light fixture mounted outside the glovebox illuminates the interior and is easy to access. The hinged cover lifts up for LED maintenance or replacement.

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.
