Glove boxes have long been essential in laboratories, providing sealed, inert environments for safely handling delicate or hazardous materials. Their rigid, fixed design offers strong containment, protecting both the work and personnel. However, their stationary nature limits their use outside traditional lab environments.
Flexible film isolators, also known as ‘glove bags,’ offer a portable alternative with the same sealed protection. Made from impermeable film, glove bags extend containment capabilities beyond the laboratory to pharmaceutical, forensic, biological, and industrial settings where mobility is essential.
