Introduction
Containment Technology SafetyBox Powder Handling Glovebox from WolfLabs.
The SafetyBox Powder Handling Glovebox from Containment Technology provides a controlled, negative-pressure environment ideally suited for handling and weighing high-potency pharmaceutical powders with occupational exposure limits (OELs) under 1 µg/m³. Designed for labs working with cytotoxic or potent compounds, this glovebox ensures safety, cleanliness, and versatility.

Features & Benefits
- Negative-Pressure, Single-Pass Airflow - Air is drawn into the enclosure through a safe-change HEPA filter and expelled through dual HEPA filters, preventing dust escape and maintaining a secure containment environment.
- High Containment Performance - Engineered to meet an environmental control level (ECL) of 5 ng/m³, with automatic ramp-up pressure control in response to glove breaches.
- Ergonomic, Cleanable Design - Rounded internal edges, hinged access panels, and radiused corners allow thorough cleaning, while transparent 8 mm acrylic construction offers visibility during operations.
- Integrated Transfer Chamber & Glove Ports - A built-in transfer hatch allows safe movement of samples in and out, and standard butadyl glove options provide flexibility; upgrades include interlocked hatches and humidity control.
- Modular Configuration & Upgrades - The system supports bespoke sizing, anti-vibration base, activated carbon filtration, and continuous liners to suit specific lab requirements.

Introduction
Containment Technology ST1 series, Bulk Powder Enclosure, and HiPo-VBE balance enclosures and powder weighing cabinets from WolfLabs.
Containment Technology’s ST1 series, Bulk Powder Enclosure, and HiPo-VBE containment solutions offer robust protection for laboratories handling potent, airborne powders. Designed with user safety and process integrity in mind, these enclosures deliver high-performance containment while supporting accurate weighing operations.

Features & Benefits
- Turbulence-Free, Precise Weighing (ST1) - The ST1 series creates a stable, low-flow environment that avoids airflow fluctuations around analytical balances—critical for microgram accuracy. It reliably maintains exposure control limits below 20 ng/m³.
- Ergonomic and Durable Design - Featuring a robust granite or stainless-steel base, ergonomic profile, and optional HEPA filtration with safe-change systems, the enclosures are both user-friendly and built for long-term laboratory use.
- High Potency Safety (HiPo-VBE) - Engineered specifically for high-potency powders, the HiPo-VBE delivers containment well below exposure thresholds (<20 ng/m³), complete with dual-sensor airflow alarms and pharmaceutical-grade construction.
- Efficient Bulk Handling Solutions - Bulk Powder Enclosures support safe transfer and weighing of larger powder quantities, featuring low-turbulence airflow around drum apertures, mobile stainless-steel frames, and easy filtration management.
- Reliable Containment and Monitoring - Consistent airflow monitoring with both visual and audible alerts ensures operator safety and process transparency—enhancing traceability and compliance in regulated environments.
