Anaerobic organism
An anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require molecular oxygen for growth.
See Glovebox and Anaerobic organism
Argon
Argon is a chemical element; it has symbol Ar and atomic number 18.
Biosafety level
A biosafety level (BSL), or pathogen/protection level, is a set of biocontainment precautions required to isolate dangerous biological agents in an enclosed laboratory facility.
See Glovebox and Biosafety level
Copper
Copper is a chemical element; it has symbol Cu and atomic number 29.
Desiccator
Desiccators are sealable enclosures containing desiccants used for preserving moisture-sensitive items such as cobalt chloride paper for another use.
Dichloromethane
Dichloromethane (DCM, methylene chloride, or methylene bichloride) is an organochlorine compound with the formula.
See Glovebox and Dichloromethane
Forge
A forge is a type of hearth used for heating metals, or the workplace (smithy) where such a hearth is located.
Fume hood
A fume hood (sometimes called a fume cupboard or fume closet) is a type of local exhaust ventilation device that is designed to prevent users from being exposed to hazardous fumes, vapors and dusts. Glovebox and fume hood are laboratory equipment.
Glove
A glove is a garment covering the hand, with separate sheaths or openings for each finger including the thumb.
HEPA
HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter, also known as high-efficiency particulate absorbing filter and high-efficiency particulate arrestance filter, is an efficiency standard of air filters. Glovebox and HEPA are gas technologies.
Hot cell
A hot cell is a name given to a containment chamber that is shielded against nuclear radiation. Glovebox and hot cell are laboratory equipment.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol H and atomic number 1.
International Space Station
The International Space Station (ISS) is a large space station assembled and maintained in low Earth orbit by a collaboration of five space agencies and their contractors: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (Europe), JAXA (Japan), and CSA (Canada).
See Glovebox and International Space Station
Lead
Lead is a chemical element; it has symbol Pb (from Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82.
Machining
Machining is a manufacturing process where a desired shape or part is created using the controlled removal of material, most often metal, from a larger piece of raw material by cutting.
Molecular sieve
A molecular sieve is a material with pores of uniform size. Glovebox and molecular sieve are gas technologies.
See Glovebox and Molecular sieve
Neutron emission
Neutron emission is a mode of radioactive decay in which one or more neutrons are ejected from a nucleus.
See Glovebox and Neutron emission
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol N and atomic number 7.
Organometallic chemistry is the study of organometallic compounds, chemical compounds containing at least one chemical bond between a carbon atom of an organic molecule and a metal, including alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metals, and sometimes broadened to include metalloids like boron, silicon, and selenium, as well.
See Glovebox and Organometallic chemistry
Oxygen
Oxygen is a chemical element; it has symbol O and atomic number 8.
Pit (nuclear weapon)
In nuclear weapon design, the pit is the core of an implosion nuclear weapon, consisting of fissile material and any neutron reflector or tamper bonded to it.
See Glovebox and Pit (nuclear weapon)
Poly(methyl methacrylate)
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is the synthetic polymer derived from methyl methacrylate.
See Glovebox and Poly(methyl methacrylate)
Radiation
In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or a material medium.
Radiation protection
Radiation protection, also known as radiological protection, is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as "The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation, and the means for achieving this".
See Glovebox and Radiation protection
Remote manipulator
A remote manipulator, also known as a telefactor, telemanipulator, or waldo (after the 1942 short story "Waldo" by Robert A. Heinlein which features a man who invents and uses such devices), is a device which, through electronic, hydraulic, or mechanical linkages, allows a hand-like mechanism to be controlled by a human operator.
See Glovebox and Remote manipulator
Rocky Flats Plant
The Rocky Flats Plant was a U.S. manufacturing complex that produced nuclear weapons parts in the western United States, near Denver, Colorado.
See Glovebox and Rocky Flats Plant
Sandblasting
Sandblasting, sometimes known as abrasive blasting, is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface or remove surface contaminants.
Schlenk line
The Schlenk line (also vacuum gas manifold) is a commonly used chemistry apparatus developed by Wilhelm Schlenk. Glovebox and Schlenk line are air-free techniques and laboratory equipment.
Sergei Krikalev
Sergei Konstantinovich Krikalev (Сергей Константинович Крикалёв, also transliterated as Sergei Krikalyov; born 27 August 1958) is a Russian mechanical engineer, former cosmonaut and former head of the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center.
See Glovebox and Sergei Krikalev
Solvent
A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "loosen, untie, solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion.
See Glovebox and Stainless steel
Tetrahydrofuran
Tetrahydrofuran (THF), or oxolane, is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)4O.
See Glovebox and Tetrahydrofuran
Vacuum chamber
A vacuum chamber is a rigid enclosure from which air and other gases are removed by a vacuum pump. Glovebox and vacuum chamber are laboratory equipment.
See Glovebox and Vacuum chamber
Water
Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula.
Wood fibre
Wood fibres (also spelled wood fibers, see spelling differences) are usually cellulosic elements that are extracted from trees and used to make materials including paper.
