Detection of Gas Leaks in an Anaerobic Glove Box

Gilda L Jones 1, Stanley M Dever 1
PMCID: PMC380139  PMID: 4596756

Abstract

An inert gas, Freon, can be added to the atmosphere of an anaerobic glove box without deleterious effect to cultures of anaerobic microorganisms. The sensitive probe of a Halogen Leak Detector passing over the outside surface of the box will pinpoint any escaping Freon and therefore locate the leak.
