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.
Chamber Design:
Choose chamber material to match your application and budget:
Low cost acrylic.
ESD-safe and chemical resistant static-dissipative PVC (SD-PVC).
High-impact polycarbonate (cracks less easily than acrylic).
Polypropylene for maximum chemical resistance.
Heavy-duty 304-grade stainless steel for sterile and ESD-safe applications.
Heavy-duty 316L-grade stainless steel for greater corrosion resistance.
Removable back wall on plastic models allows transfer of large process equipment that can't fit through openings.
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.
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.

ISO 6 Nitrogen-Purged Stainless Steel Glove Box for Inert Environment
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.
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.
