Cambridge University opt for fourth glovebox installation from Saffron
The University of Cambridge has opted to install its fourth glovebox and containment system from manufacturer Saffron Scientific Equipment.
Commissioned by Dr Dominic Wright, the latest commission has been designed to handle a variety of materials with differing containment requirements.
‘We are working on a variety of programs from highly reactive p-block precursors for materials synthesis to state-of-the-art titanium oxide anti-pollution films,’ he said.
‘Many of these materials are degraded, explosive in air, have the presence of moisture or are prone to contamination in air. We need glovebox systems we can trust and we have found the Saffron gloveboxes to be excellent for our work.
‘What I like about the Saffron designs are their simplicity and the largely manual control and operation. So, if something doesn't go according to plan, we can see what the problem is quickly and alter it there and then.’
