positive or negative pressure box?
    #2156598 - 12/03/03 08:22 PM (20 years, 3 months ago)

I want to make a GOOD glove box.  I want to do either a positve pressure box with the fan blowing in from the filter, or negative pressure with a top-mounted fan blowing air out as it comes in through filters.

I just have questions I think you guys could help me out with:

1)  With the positive pressure box, where does the air escape?  Do you make exhaust holes?

2)  With the negative pressure idea, can i achieve a completely sterile airflow with 70 mm synthecic micron filter disks?  Possibly with a tyvek and coffee filter prefilter?  Or do I HAVE to have a HEPA to achieve this?      :confused:

use a possitive pressure box. if you have a seal on the box, holes stuffed with polyfill will make nice outvents.
if there isnt a good seal, the air will find its own way out.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will do a positive pressure, if anything, so that I worry less about leaks. I don't know what polyfill is, but would micron filters let enough air pass through them to use them on my exhaust holes. I think I might be getting paranoid about contams getting back in through there somehow, but I want to be 100% sure I'm doing things right.

Oh, I shoudl probably explain what I'm planning on doing with the box. I don't want to have a bottom on it. I wanted to have a seal (weatherstrip?) on the bottom (which is the opening of the rubbermaid tub) so that it coulds attach to another rubbermaid, that I will be using as a fruiting chamber. It will have a plexiglass top with a port hole covered with plexi glass that would be bolted down onto a gasket arond the opening.

My idea is that I could, inside the glovebox, flame sterilize some of my equipment and then wipe everything down with alcohol and allow the filter to take in clean air afterwards. Then I would open the oprt, repeat that process, and then case.

Does this seem like a good iead? Any flaws you can see in that plan?
