How would one maintain anaerobic conditions of a Glove Box?
I am a graduate student in a new lab. Our lab is attempting to grow an anaerobic bacterial species, and I've had nothing but issues. I do not believe the seal between the top and bottom portions of the box is being maintained properly. The box is a Plas Labs basic glove box and has the two components mentioned above. Both the professor and I attempted to open the box and break the seal at one point to clean the inside prior to use but thought we failed. I am unable to find any information on ordering additional sealant, or what material can be used to seal the pieces of the glove box. Any assistance or experience would be helpful.
