Strange, I'm sorry - I seem to be having problems using the search. It either doesn't show any matches for me or takes me to that weird broken link. Thanks for these links. How much does a cheap hepa filter cost?

this is my tek for a good positive air glove box.So far I have not had any contams yet (knock on wood)
supplies needed: 1. clear tupperware storage container $5-10 2. 12v computer fan $5-15 (i got a colour fan looks nicer but not needed) 3. gloves $5-15 (the gloves u see are pond gloves) 4. box cutter $1-2 5. 12v power supply $5-20 6. hair dryer or stove $n/a 7. clear plastic $5(table cover or shower curtain) 8. dust mask or coffee filters (hepa filters) $3-5 9. screws for computer fan $1
Making a Glove Box
This is the easiest, effective transfer box I know of. Even if you have to buy everything the cost should be under $35. There are several easy enhancements to this design, but this is a good basic box for beginners and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to throw together.
Construction 1. Cut holes in the side of the box for your arms. Heating the box with a hair dryer or stove makes the cutting much easier.
2. Drill pilot holes to mount the fan to the inside of the box. A hot ice pick works well as a drill.
3. Cut out a hole inside the four screw holes for the fan to draw through. It should be at least 2" in diameter.
4. Mount the fan inside the box, blowing into the box. Seal with duct tape. Put the dust mask on the outside of the box over the draw hole and seal to the box with duct tape.
5. Stick your hand into the gloves. Now stick your arm thru' the arm hole as far into the glove box as you are likely to need to reach. Trim off the excess glove and use duct tape to attach the "glove" to the outside of the box around the arm hole. Repeat for the other arm hole.
6. cut a hole on the top (cover) of the box make sure u make it big because that is what u are going to look through when you are finished i like to leave about 3" around the edge cut using the box cutter it is easier if use heat from hair dryer or hold high over the stove if u do not have a hair dryer then take the clear plastic and put it over the hole cut off extra plastic u don't want it to hang over,then take your duct tape and tape it on.
7. take the 12v power supply with the 12v fan and splice the wires together and use electric tape if u have it (make sure the power cord isn't pluged in while doing this)
8.plug it in and away you go!
(This type of "top of the line" glove doesn't work if you suck air out of the box instead of the positive pressure design, but the best reason to use positive pressure in the glovebox is that leaks in the system are harmless. Filtered air pours out of them instead of unfiltered air being sucked in through them.)
To use: Wipe down (or spray) the inside of the box and the under side of the plexiglas top with Lysol. Spray one glove heavily, then rub your hands (in the gloves) together to clean and sterilize the gloves. Place your materials in the box, lay the top in place, and turn on the fan. Allow it to run for a while (15 minutes is probably overkill). The positive pressure in the box means that filtered air is pouring out of every opening. The dust mask filter can be sprayed with Lysol as an extra precaution.
CAUTION: Using a knife to try to cut the plastic is very dangerous. The polypropylene that these boxes are made of is very tough and will crack without warning if you're using a lot of pressure with a knife. I ruined the first box and could have lost fingers the first time I built one of these. I tried to use a razor knife with a new blade and it did not work. Use a hair dryer and good, heavy duty scissors or tin snips. If you are not experienced with taking power supplies apart and general tinkering, please get someone who is to help with the wiring up of the fan.

The box uses positive air pressure to carry the contams away....you need some way to handle the items...but yet still have the box be air tight.
