60" Four Glove Compact Glove Boxes Overview
The 60" Four Glove Compact Glove Boxes (model SG860) from Yamato Scientific deliver completely sealed isolation and containment in a single Glove Box. This unit pairs a 60" × 29" × 32" interior working chamber with an integrated 12" transfer chamber for product and personnel protection. LabSupplies.com, an authorized dealer, supplies the genuine unit.
Thick clear cast acrylic forms the main working chamber, an optically clear material developed for isolation and containment. Four white ambidextrous Hypalon gloves allow manipulation inside the sealed enclosure. A flat side access door measuring 21.5" × 24" eases introduction of larger equipment, while four key-cock purging valves and a vacuum gauge manage chamber atmosphere.
Operators can run nitrogen, argon, or other inert gases to lower oxygen and humidity inside the chamber. A hospital-grade multiple-outlet strip powers equipment within the box, and a pressure-relief valve with a small HEPA filter guards against overpressure. Built in the United States and CE certified, the unit weighs 475 lbs.
Key Features
- Four-glove configuration: white ambidextrous Hypalon gloves provide flexible access across the 60" working chamber.
- Integrated transfer chamber: a 12" transfer chamber with purging valves and vacuum gauge supports loading without breaking containment.
- Flat side access door: a 21.5" × 24" opening allows easy introduction of larger equipment into the chamber.
- Key-cock purging valves: four valves (two on the main chamber, two on the transfer chamber) control inert-gas purging.
- Pressure management: main chamber rated to +6"/−6" water column and transfer chamber to −26" Hg, with a pressure-relief valve and small HEPA filter.
- Integrated electrical: a hospital-grade multiple-outlet strip powers instruments inside the sealed enclosure.
How to Choose the Right Glove Box
Selecting a glove box comes down to chamber size, atmosphere control, and the containment level your workflow demands. Match the unit to your sample volume, the equipment you must place inside, and the gases you intend to use.
- Chamber capacity and footprint: confirm the 60" × 29" × 32" interior accommodates your apparatus and that the 76" × 32" × 35" exterior fits the bench space.
- Glove configuration: a four-glove layout suits wider work zones and multi-operator or two-handed reach across a long chamber.
- Transfer chamber: an integrated transfer chamber with purging valves lets you move materials in and out while maintaining the inert atmosphere.
- Atmosphere and gas compatibility: verify the box accepts nitrogen, argon, or other inert gases to lower oxygen and humidity for sensitive work.
- Pressure and safety control: review the operating pressure range and the pressure-relief valve with HEPA filter for containment of toxic substances and vapors.
- Material compatibility: cast acrylic construction balances optical clarity with the chemical exposure your application involves.
