The laboratory has a glovebox by MBraun, model LabmasterPro, designed to work in anhydrous and oxygen-free conditions. The chamber consists of:
- four neoprene gloves (two work stations)
- a small and large sluice, allowing the transport of things from and to the chamber
- system of filters, which additionally purifies the inert gas
- internal circulation system
- two refrigerators for storing thermally unstable compounds (operating temperature approx. −40°C)
- Leica microscope built into the front wall of the chamber
- touch control panel
- analog pressure, oxygen and water level sensor
The chamber is adapted to work with both solid and liquid compounds.
Operating time
The glovebox works in a continuous mode, except for the time devoted to maintenance and replacement of the argon bottle. Thanks to the Eco-Mode function, the glove box works in an energy-saving mode at night.
Terms of use
The glovebox can be used by employees and Ph.D. students who have previously undergone appropriate training. Before starting work with the use of the glove box, you should get cotton gloves and latex gloves of XL size.
The person responsible for the equipment is Łukasz Ponikiewski, Ph.D., Eng. The persons supervising the proper operation of the chamber and controlling the amount of inert gases are: Aleksandra Ziółkowska, Ph.D., Eng. and Kinga Kaniewska-Laskowska, Ph.D., Eng.
