| Open the red valve on top of the glovebox, the system will try maintain the pressure in the box by letting in inert gas. Do this for 15min or so depending on the contamination you expect inside. Purging can also be done for hours if the contamination is large, but keep an eye on the pressure of the gas cylinder. | Open the red valve on top of the glovebox, the system will try maintain the pressure in the box by letting in inert gas.

| + | Thiols are the sulfur analogue of alcohols, due to the sulfur thiols can have a strong odor. When taking out used glassware or bottles that have thiol contamination they should be properly cleaned. Cleaning with IPA or water is not sufficient. There is a bleach solution in the glovebox (10 parts water 1 part Glorix), bleach will break the thiol molucules. | ||
