PureSmart Jacomex VS LABstar pro MBRAUN

Criteria PureSmart - Jacomex LABstar pro - MBRAUN
Introduction

PureSmart by Jacomex is a standardized glove box developed to meet the demands of scientific research under an inert atmosphere. It offers a reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance solution for air- and moisture-sensitive operations in academic and industrial environments.

The LABstar pro from MBRAUN is a compact glove box that delivers an inert atmosphere below 1 ppm Oâ‚‚ and Hâ‚‚O via a closed-loop purifier. Its stainless-steel, modular design offers 2, 3, or 4-glove configurations, single- or double-sided, while positive or negative pressure under argon, nitrogen, or helium suits even the toughest protocols. The intuitive MBRAUN control panel streamlines operation, and the DP version enables simultaneous regeneration and purification for continuous use.

Applications

Academic research and R&D

Ideal for laboratories handling sensitive materials in disciplines such as chemistry, materials science, or molecular physics.

High-tech fields

Perfectly suited for projects involving batteries, OLEDs, perovskites, or organic photovoltaics.

Industrial processes

Also compatible with industrial uses such as welding in inert atmosphere, and specific production or testing lines in energy or advanced manufacturing sectors.

A glove box designed for research excellence

PureSmart – Jacomex delivers an accessible and robust solution for research settings requiring precise control of the working environment. Its proven design, adaptability, and ease of use make it a valuable asset in modern laboratories.

 

  • Laboratory & chemistry: air- and moisture-sensitive syntheses
