5.3 Removing an Item from the Glovebox Using the Large Antechamber
It is extremely important that the Antechamber contains purified gas since opening the inner
door will expose the box to the Antechamber. If you are not certain of the status of the
Antechamber, then evacuate and refill 3 times before proceeding.
We suggest that you keep the Antechamber under vacuum. This will prompt you to refill before
proceeding.
1
Ensure that the outside door is fully closed.
2
Ensure that the refill valve is closed.
3
Open the inner door.
4
Insert the object into the Antechamber and close the inner door.
5
Open the outside door and remove the object.
5.4 Mini Antechamber
The same precautions above are true for the mini Antechamber.
This section describes the manual operation of the mini Antechamber. Specifically, it lists the
steps necessary to transfer an object into and out of the Glovebox. These steps assume that the
atmosphere inside the chamber is pure and not open to the outside air.
5.4.1 Introducing an Item into the Glovebox Using the Mini Antechamber
