Answers to Questions About Glovebox Maintenance
The most common questions we are asked time and time again about maintenance and repairs.
How often should a glove box be serviced?
Typically once a year. For applications involving heavy use or particularly sensitive operations, we recommend a maintenance schedule every six months. This ensures that wear parts are replaced in a timely manner and that reliable operation is maintained.
What is included in a glove box maintenance service?
Typically, this includes changing gloves and filters, replacing seals on airlocks and doors, maintaining or replacing valves, leak detection and leak testing, cleaning the system, and a final functional test.
Do you service glove boxes from all manufacturers?
Yes. We have experience with a wide variety of glovebox systems and work directly with manufacturers to source genuine replacement parts—which allows us to provide support for your equipment regardless of the manufacturer.
Can O₂ and H₂O sensors be calibrated?
Yes. Calibration is an important part of maintenance. The sensors are calibrated properly to ensure that your system continues to provide accurate measurements.
When should the gloves be replaced?
At the very latest when visible damage, material fatigue, or leaks occur, or after exposure to harsh chemicals. Regular replacement ensures a tight seal and safety.
