Building a glovebox, need a hepa filter

I am constructing a glovebox (I'm too far into it, don't tell me not to! hehe) and I just bought the fan. ( http://www.herbach.com/Merchant2/merchan...tegory_Code=FAN ). This is a 7 inch by 7 inch fan, and I was wondering where I could find a hepa filter that I could mount over it. Thanks a lot! P.S, the glovebox so far is at http://www.kth.cx/up/s/sexbox1.JPG http://www.kth.cx/up/s/sexbox2.JPG http://www.kth.cx/up/s/sexbox3.JPG

I went and got a hepa filter for a vaccum cleaner at wal-mart. I got a 2 pack for 44.95. You might be able to find them cheaper, but out of convienience, and not having to order anything. It's good down to .03 microns.

I am wondering if I can use a dustmask instead of a hepa filter...

Yes you can. I saw a tek for it somewhere, I think on mycotopia.net in the archives.

Awesome! No point in getting a Hepa Filter then. I'll just buy a 2 dollar dust mask

A HEPA would be better of course. Look for HEPA replacements at Wally World. I got a decent sized one for about $15 or so.

We don't have one of those around here
I'd get one on the internet through froogle, but they never write the size..

A dust mask will not work!
There's a reason HEPA filters are used in laminar flow hoods, and there's a reason they're so expensive. A true HEPA filter will clean the air to near sterility. This is the minimum required for sterile work. A dust mask will filter out dust, but not the tiny contamination vectors that haunt us all.
Additionally, the filter's back-pressure and the fan have to be matched. You can't just throw a random fan and filter together and expect good performance.
Take a look at:
http://www.fungifun.org/flowhood/
before you spend a lot of money on a flowhood/glovebox that won't work.

This isn't a laminar floor hood, so I do not need to perfectly match a filter with a fan. Anything that produces a constant, if even turbulant airflow is good enough as long as I let the glovebox run for a while before using it.
Anyway, I ordered this filter http://www.vikingop.com/(fdf11p55pmndisn...ef1=&iref2=
I'll get back to you guys on how well it works and whatnot.

Alright, but you still need a true HEPA filter or the air going into your glovebox will be full of contaminants. -Diploid
