28" Two Glove Compact Glove Boxes Overview
The 28" Two Glove Compact Glove Boxes (model SG828) from Yamato Scientific is a fully sealed glove box built for basic isolation and containment work in a 28" × 23" × 29" interior. LabSupplies.com, authorized dealer, supplies this unit for labs that need to handle toxic substances, asbestos, fibers, and harmful vapors inside a controlled enclosure.
Construction centers on a thick clear cast acrylic main working chamber developed for optical clarity during precise manipulation. An integrated 12" transfer chamber moves materials in and out without breaking containment, while a flat side access door (15.5" × 22") admits larger equipment. Two white ambidextrous Hypalon gloves and four key-cock purging valves complete the working setup.
Pressure management uses a relief valve fitted with a small HEPA filter, and a hospital-grade multiple-outlet strip powers instruments inside. Built in the United States and CE certified, the unit weighs 210 lbs with exterior dimensions of 43" × 24" × 31" including the transfer chamber. Inert gases such as nitrogen or argon lower oxygen and humidity for sensitive procedures.

- Pressure-relief and power: relief valve with small HEPA filter plus a hospital-grade multiple-outlet strip for interior instruments.
How to Choose the Right Glove Box
Glove box selection turns on the substances you contain, the equipment you place inside, and the atmosphere you maintain. Match these axes to your protocol before specifying a unit.
- Glove configuration: the number and material of gloves set how many operators and what reach the enclosure supports; this model uses two ambidextrous Hypalon gloves.
- Interior capacity: working dimensions (here 28" × 23" × 29") must fit your samples and any instruments staged inside.
- Transfer method: an integrated transfer chamber lets you load and unload without breaking containment, which matters for hazardous handling.
- Atmosphere control: purging valves and vacuum capability determine whether you can run nitrogen, argon, or other inert gases to lower oxygen and humidity.
- Construction material: clear cast acrylic gives optical clarity for precise manipulation while sealing the workspace.
- Footprint and access: confirm exterior dimensions and door opening fit your bench space and your largest pieces of equipment.

The interior working chamber measures 28" × 23" × 29" (710 × 580 × 740 mm). Exterior dimensions, including the 12" transfer chamber, are 43" × 24" × 31" (1100 × 610 × 790 mm).
How are materials moved in and out without breaking containment?
An integrated 12" transfer chamber with purging valves and a vacuum gauge handles material transfer. The transfer chamber reaches a maximum vacuum of −26" Hg (660 torr), and a flat side access door (15.5" × 22") admits larger equipment.
What gases can the SG828 run inside the chamber?
The unit accepts nitrogen, argon, or other inert gases to lower oxygen and humidity. Four key-cock purging valves — two on the main chamber and two on the transfer chamber — manage atmosphere exchange.
What is the operating pressure range of the main chamber?
The unit operates at ±0.5" water column (0.93 torr) for containment and isolation. Main chamber limits are a maximum +6" pressure and −6" water column vacuum (11.2 torr).
What materials are the chamber and gloves made from?
The main working chamber is thick clear cast acrylic chosen for optical clarity during precise manipulation. The two ambidextrous gloves are white Hypalon.
How is power supplied and is the unit certified?
A hospital-grade multiple-outlet strip powers instruments inside the enclosure. The SG828 is CE certified and built in the United States, weighing 210 lbs.
