Product complexity makes the process of arriving at a purchase decision more difficult. In consideration, you'll find dozens of specialty glovebox systems at Terra Universal that are built and explicitly designated for general use, as well as those intended for high-risk applications and specialty uses.

Terra is a leading manufacturer of glovebox systems and solutions for labs, cleanrooms, and research environments. As such, we offer a broad array of prebuilt and custom-manufactured glovebox systems, as well as authorized products from leading brands like Labconco, Shel Lab, and GermFree. When browsing online, you'll find several specific types and styles of glovebox categories

Gloveboxes are commonly utilized in cleanrooms and laboratories for the manufacturing and testing of pharmaceuticals, live biologics, chemicals, and microelectronics. Terra offers an industry-leading selection of glovebox systems, accessories, and add-ons online, including containment isolators and specialty gloveboxes for radiopharmaceuticals, precision climate control, or hazardous substances.

When purchasing a glovebox isolator, it can be challenging to determine which system is the most appropriate for your use case and application. Let's unpack the major distinctions between types of glovebox systems and glovebox isolators. Additionally, we'll evaluate requirements and stipulations for various applications such as biohazard containment gloveboxes, aseptic compounding isolators (CAIs), aseptic containment isolators (CAICs), negative pressure gloveboxes, and related systems such as Biological Safety Cabinets.

Vacuum chambers for outgassing and degassing applications must consider the rate and volume of gas released from materials when placed in a vacuum. Outgassing rates can be critical as it might lead to contamination of other surfaces, optical degradation, or material failure in vacuum or space environments.

As an American manufacturer of vacuum chambers and their associated systems, Terra Universal offers an array of vacuum chamber designs for material testing, thermal testing, stress testing, degassing, atmospheric simulation, and more. In this series, we'll discuss smaller benchtop vacuum chambers for small parts, as well as large high-capacity vacuum chamber models for extra large assemblies or components.

Desiccant dehumidifiers are essential for maintaining accuracy and stability within a clean room. The accuracy and stability of humidity levels are critical, which is why desiccant dehumidifiers are preferred due to their ability to control humidity levels with a high accuracy of +/-2% RH.

In critical cleanroom sectors like pharmaceuticals, biotech, and electronics, precise humidity control is essential for protecting equipment, process consistency, and components. This post examines several high-performance attributes of cleanroom humidifier systems offered by Terra Universal.

Terra Universal is California's leading manufacturer in the design and fabrication of cleanrooms and controlled environments. Additionally, we provide a full suite of services to help you navigate complexities during the validation, certification, or qualification of a new facility build.
