New still air box * 4
    #28002331 - 10/16/22 07:59 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

The basic still air box I made has been annoying me, but I’m doubling down since there’s no way I’ll buy a laminar flow hood. Therefore, this one has a crystal clear top and arm hole covers for taking a break or letting agar set.  I also poured 4kgs of lead shot into the lip and sealed it with epoxy to add weight. Then, I used a silicone gasket on the bottom to keep the box from sliding around the desk. I use the space beside the rack as a trash can for used parafilm and foil.

I like the arm holes + covers. Is it just pvc pipe glued into the holes and complementary pvc caps?

Correct.  6in PVC x 1.25in long glued into the holes with a bead of hot glue. The 6in caps are ridiculously deep for this application but they’re tapered, so if I cut them shorter it’ll be too tight instead of just a quick loose fit so I left them alone. Arm hole spacing is 18.5in center to center.

Ooo very nice indeed! I'm wanting to build a new SAB with better visibility. What material did you use for the top, plexiglass?

Yes, the top is 1/8” acrylic secured/sealed with a bead of hot glue. It’s 24in long by however wide that box is.  I didn’t measure the width, just marked it and cut.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

You’re better off removing the gloves and using it as an SAB, homie.

Edit: and why does it look like there’s a cupcake slapped onto the back of it?

That SAB is hot looking! Where did you get the base container and how big is it?

My bet is its to try to equalize the negative pressure through a filter system of some sort, instead of pressure equalizing though the openings where the lid attaches.

I think it's a HEPA filter vent. I think it's resourceful, but the arm holes are too close together for it to be comfortable for me. Still, I've used worse contraptions in the past.

I saw some older veterans that are still rocking glove boxes, and I didn't even question any of it because of their seniority here. I admit mine is over-engineered, so it can be critiqued as well...

As far as I’m concerned, glove boxes are for only for specific applications, such as working under an inert atmosphere, although I will admit that this is one of the areas in which I am rigidly dogmatic. Which old heads are still rocking glove boxes? (Also, I prefer to believe that homeboy’s got a cupcake dispenser on the back of his glove box.)

personally i would love a cupcake halfway into my SAB routine

but yes GBs are really for separating yourself from fumes, stuff like that. there are several good reasons not to use them for mycology

I agree with you on the glovebox and other contraptions. I'm a recent convert, I admit I used those things in the past, so I'm not judging anyone.

I don't even want to name any names, but I posted it in the New Tools of the Trade thread, and I did ask for feedback on it. I guess oldhat might be a better description than veteran, and he isn't a TC, so I don't really know where I'm going with this. I just was surprised to hear my SAB was over-engineered (that's fair), with a shiny new glovebox with 4" armholes being shown as the more desirable option. Granted, it was bigger, and bigger is better, but all the latest consensus that I could find was to use a SAB as a SAB, no attached gloves (sleeves), and make sure the armholes are 6 to 8 inches in diameter.

I'm really working on my manners, so I'm really not wanting to step on anyone's toes. I do think that there is a sticky on gloveboxes and what not for a reason though. I just used my new SAB for the first time 3 days ago, so I'm anxiously awaiting to see if any satellite contams occur in the next couple of weeks. So far so good, I feel confident in using a SAB for the first time now. I also know why I had so many failures in the past, not knowing proper SAB technique until recently.
