I-Glove
O2/CO2 Glove Box For Cell Culture Incubators  | - Uninterrupted O2/CO culturing
- Low gas consumption
- Extended O2 range hypoxia/hyperoxia
- Less contamination risk
- Safety barrier for dangerous cells
| Closed Incubation
The Incubator is an essential part of the cell culturing process. The only drawback is the exposure to ambient air. Processing cells contained solely in an incubator is widely accepted, though it creates numerous complications. Primarily, the optimal atmospheric environment inside the incubator is disturbed whenever the door is opened. Secondly, a large amount of gas is required to restore the contained atmosphere to optimal conditions (especially hypoxia.) Lastly, cultures are usually manipulated in a hood outside the incubator under suboptimal conditions.
The I-Glove is a valuable, affordable solution to these problems. It is a large glove box in which your incubator sits. Identical conditions can be controlled both inside and outside the incubator allowing cultures to be manipulated under optimal conditions. This process removes the necessity of a hood and consumes, virtually no gas.Once the incubator is installed in the I-Glove, cells can be handled under unitterrupted optimal conditions.
This means the control range of the incubator is also easily controlled. Inside the I-Glove, extreme oxygen levels are easily maintained. |  The I – Glove provides a workspace equivalent to the size of standard small hood. The technician works with gloves that are seam-welded into a clear plastic window to maximize visibility, and ambient room lighting. The flexibility of the window allows maximum mobility and comfort. Atmospheric conditions inside the I-Glove can be controlled to optimize O2/CO2 conditions outside the incubator. The I-Glove is separated from outside air by an airlock. Aseptic conditions, isolation from technicians and room air, minimize chance of contamination. The I-Glove also provides a protective barrier against harmful viruses, vectors, prions, and other infectious agents.
