Glovebox laboratory, a controlled environment for critical research

A glovebox is a sealed workspace operated via built-in gloves. In laboratories, this allows researchers to safely handle substances that must not be exposed to ambient air. This is essential for:

• handling air-sensitive or moisture-sensitive materials that react with oxygen or humidity
• working with hazardous or toxic substances where direct exposure poses a safety risk
• battery research, which requires an oxygen-free environment for safe and reliable testing
• controlled experiments, where minimal contamination is critical for reproducible data

Thanks to the controlled atmosphere inside a glovebox, laboratories can work safely, accurately, and efficiently with materials that are unstable or dangerous under normal conditions.

Acclon Technologies supplies glovebox systems that are fully tailored to your lab’s specific requirements. We consider the number of glove ports, the required dimensions, the type of gas purification, and the integration of instruments such as vacuum sensors or RGA units. Our engineers support you from the initial design stage.

Standard gloveboxes often offer only basic functionality. We go further. We combine our expertise in vacuum technology with practical experience in cleanroom systems to build solutions that meet the highest standards of cleanliness and process control.

For many laboratories, a glovebox is only one part of a larger vacuum process. A vacuum environment is often essential for critical applications such as:

• degassing materials before analysis
• helium leak testing of components
• conditioning samples in a controlled atmosphere

Thanks to our in-depth expertise in vacuum pumps, including turbomolecular pumps, diaphragm pumps, and scroll pumps, we deliver complete systems. Glovebox and vacuum technology work together seamlessly in our setups.

This allows precise control of the atmosphere, pressure distribution, gas flow, and residual gas levels. These factors are essential in high-end research environments such as universities, technology companies, and R&D labs.

A great system becomes truly valuable only when it is used effectively. That is why we offer training through our own Acclon Academy. Our programs focus on using gloveboxes in combination with vacuum systems. Clients can also test their processes or train their staff in our in-house application lab.

Our training includes introductions to vacuum technology as well as specialist modules on helium leak detection, RGA analysis, and thin-film deposition techniques. This allows laboratories to immediately apply new knowledge for better research and more efficient use of equipment.

Our gloveboxes are used in a wide variety of laboratory environments. In the semiconductor industry, they are essential for handling sensitive wafers and components. In pharmaceutical settings, they ensure a controlled space for weighing and preparing active substances. In fundamental materials research, they make experiments possible that cannot be conducted under atmospheric conditions. Our modular approach allows us to support both small laboratories and large-scale research facilities.

Acclon is more than just a glovebox supplier. We are a partner who supports your entire process, from the first consultation to long-term service and maintenance. Through close collaboration with leading brands such as Vigor, we provide high-quality, reliable systems that are built to last and easy to operate.

We also offer service contracts, on-site maintenance, and assistance with upgrading or expanding your existing systems.

A glovebox laboratory starts with a good conversation. Our specialists are ready to advise you on the best solution for your specific needs. Whether you are looking for a standard system or a fully integrated setup with vacuum pumps, measurement instruments, and gas purification, Acclon offers the expertise to move your research forward.
