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.
