American Glovebox Society

American Glovebox Society (AGS) is a non-profit formed in 1986 for the purpose of advancing the scie

The earliest use of gloveboxes was in research dealing with national defense. The necessity of handling hazardous materials with sometimes unknown properties created the need for an enclosure that would separate the experimenter from the process, while still allowing the experiment to be performed. Today, gloveboxes are still used by defense industries, but glovebox (or isolator, enclosure, barrie

r, mini-environment, etc.) use has expanded to other industries where materials must be protected from the environment or the operators must be protected from the material within the glovebox. The AGS provides a means to expand glovebox technology into new fields, as well as refine use in existing fields, by providing a forum where the experience and knowledge of users, designers and fabricators in industries such as nuclear, biomedical, semiconductor, chemical, and pharmaceutical can be shared.
