The New Glovebox Is Here! The New Glovebox Is Here!

OK, we've actually had it for a while, but are just now getting around to writing a post. We had a glovebox custom made by the Precision Instrument Machine Shop on campus.  As you may be able to tell from the pictures below, this glovebox is a stainless steel monster.  It allows us to conduct a wide range of experiments under anaerobic conditions, and two transfer chambers can be used to bring samples and equipment in and out.
