Glove box for Biological and Microbiological Research
In a laboratory, every action counts. In biology and microbiology, even the slightest contamination can compromise an experiment, alter results or jeopardise staff safety. When working with pathogens, cell cultures, microorganisms or sensitive samples, it is essential to be able to rely on a perfectly controlled environment. The glove box for biology and microbiology research meets these requirements precisely, providing a physical and atmospheric barrier between the interior of the enclosure and the outside world.
Ensuring maximum safety in biological environments
Biological risks are omnipresent in laboratories that handle live samples, bacteria, viruses or genetically modified substances. To avoid accidental exposure, it is essential to have a reliable and durable containment device. The glove box plays a key role here: it allows direct intervention on samples without compromising their integrity.
Its main advantage lies in its ability to provide a protected, sterile or controlled atmosphere while completely isolating the operator. The interior can be depressurised, equipped with absolute filters (HEPA or ULPA), or purified to meet specific requirements. Certain applications require sterile conditions to preserve the viability of cultures or avoid cross-contamination.
In the field of microbiology, a well-configured glove box allows research on pathogenic microorganisms to be carried out in compliance with biosafety standards. In molecular or cellular biology, it ensures the stability of environments and drastically limits environmental interference.
Glove box for biological and microbiological research: practical applications
There are many fields of application. In medical biology, researchers can use them to handle infectious samples or study viral agents in a secure environment. In industrial microbiology, glove boxes enable fermentation or bacterial culture processes to be developed without altering conditions.
It is also used in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical research and agri-food sectors, particularly for handling specific strains or preparing environmentally sensitive products. Vaccine development, research into emerging pathogens and antibiotic resistance testing are also among the common applications.
Configurations can vary according to requirements: sterile atmosphere, P2 or P3 containment, compatibility with integrated analysis instruments, etc. Each project requires appropriate, precise and reliable equipment.
The Jacomex PURE range: solutions tailored to biological laboratories
Designed to meet the purity and safety requirements of research laboratories, the Jacomex PURE range offers several models of purified glove boxes. Each solution is designed to guarantee a controlled, reliable and ergonomic working environment, while remaining adaptable to the specific needs of scientific teams.
- PURESMART: a compact model ideal for laboratories with space constraints or for occasional use. It combines performance and accessibility without compromising on purification quality.
- PUREEVO: an upgradeable version of the range, suitable for advanced research projects. It can be fitted with various equipment (balances, microscopes, dosing devices) and adapts to different flow and filtration configurations.
- PUREMOD: modular glove box designed for custom projects. It allows you to create an enclosure adapted to very specific protocols, with extensive customisation options.
All glove boxes in the PURE range are equipped with a dual purification system (O₂ and H₂O), capable of maintaining levels below 1 ppm, thus ensuring optimal conditions for sensitive handling. They can operate in an inert atmosphere (nitrogen, argon) and adapt to biosafety standards according to the requirements of the protocols in place.
