Still air box 3

Ok a few people have wanted to see my still air box...
so here it is.
28 gal/106 L Rubbermaid Max Latch Container.
I tried using the box with gloves... but it was a royal pain in the ass using them!~ so I removed the gloves...and haven't had any contams. I have very large forearms...so its a tight fit for my arms anyway.
I removed the top of the container...and just use a large peice of plexiglass that I already had laying around. I just use Window cleaner on it...and keep it clean.
The fittings can be found in the plumbing section of Home Depot or Lowes...etc.
Total cost would be under $50.00

after it's sterilized, do you cover the holes w/ anything until it's time to go to work?

so you cut a hole for a filter? Why not skip that step and just have a completely closed environment (minus the arm holes)? Or did i misread your post?

when you sterilize it w/ alcohol or lysol or whatever, that has to go somewhere.

thats why...
thanks ben!~
if you did have it completely sealed off...it would become humid inside when the arm holes are sealed off.

interesting..... So im guessing when you sterlize it you do it with the top down arms in the holes? Sorry for all the stupid questions but ive been toying with the idea of building one once i had a few extra bucks.

You should be okay with an alcohol wipe in a glovebox, assuming you've sterilized the syringe in a PC. RK--what do you use to clean your hands? I have one like that with gloves now, but, yes, they are a royal pain in the ass to work with. Perhaps some sort of flapping material could be put over the holes like a thin rubber with a hole in the center for the people that aren't carpenters. That could help make it airtight.

When sterilizing the inside of the box...
I have the holes covered...and the top slide part way off.
I wipe the inside down Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol.
put my stuff inside...that I'm going to be working with.
spay the air above the glove box with Oust...slide the lid back on.
wait about 10 minutes.
then go to work.

cool! thanks for the help!! If you could figure out some way to have like a latex sleeve that tapers off or is elasticized at the end (so it shuts when your arms arent in them, and conforms to your wrists forming a seal when they are in them) All you would really need are some disposable latex gloves that are sterile. Thinner latex = less fumbling.

yes you could wear laytex gloves...I have in the past.
but wearing laytex gloves feels like wearing a condom to me. and I never wear a raincoat before a storm!~
lolzz
My forearms are huge...so they seal the openings to the box.
I can post a picture with my glove set up attached that I was using...in a few days. I'm getting ready to inoculate some Jefferson County(Alabama) cubes in some WBS today. so I don't wanna mess with it right now.

That's really cool... I might have to build something like that in the near future (pay day baby!). I was wondering, would there be any benefit in having a fishtank air pump removing air from inside the chamber via tubing, making air be pulled in through the filter?
