      A Still Air Box is a device commonly used in microbiology laboratories to create a sterile environment for handling small samples, such as Petri dishes or pipettes. It consists of a transparent enclosure with a hinged lid that can be opened and closed to access the interior.

      The Still Air Box works by creating a still, or stagnant, atmosphere inside the box, which prevents airborne contaminants from entering and contaminating the samples. Typically, the box is lined with a sterile surface, such as aluminum foil or autoclaved paper towels, and any equipment or materials used inside the box must be sterilized beforehand.

      The Still Air Box is often used as a cheaper and simpler alternative to a laminar flow hood, which is a more advanced device that uses a fan to blow sterile air over the samples. However, the Still Air Box may not provide the same level of protection against airborne contaminants, so it is important to use it in conjunction with other good laboratory practices to ensure the samples remain sterile.

      The DIY Kit includes the following components:

      Custom Molded Flanges (2)
      Universal 4" Hole Saw Drill Attachment
      Hose Clamps (2)
      24" Heavy Duty Nitrile Gloves
      32" Disposable polyethylene gloves (3 pairs UV-Sterilized)

      The picture mislead me and I thought the box was supplied. My goof though for not reading. Anyway after getting a decent box the installation was very easy. I sterilized it and used it for the first time last night. First time using Agar dishes period.. am sure the box performed perfectly and w a s easy to use. I recommend getting the largest box you can 66qt or larger and transparent. Everything was easy to use and provided I didn't screw up all should go well!! Fingers crossed!!!!
