Experts in molecular semiconductor and conjugated polymer synthesis, and optoelectronic device fabrication, Trisha Andrew’s “Fab Lab” clean room at the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Chemistry uses LC Technology gloveboxes for nanostructure spintronics. Using a mixture of traditional organic synthesis, ultra high-vacuum physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, and e-beam deposition, they make unique materials and devices containing open-shell (radical) materials. For more on their research visit http://nanospin.chem.wisc.edu/Instrumentation.html

Howard Wang’s Mechanical Engineering Department at SUNY Binghamton conducts research in an LC Technology glovebox‬. For more on Professor Wang’s research and a slideshow of their glovebox in use visit http://www.binghamton.edu/…/research/equipment/glovebox.html

SonoTek, a designer, manufacturer, and service company that makes precision ultrasonic spraying systems, has integrated an LC Technology inert glovebox into their ExactoCoat Inert System. The ExactoCoat Inert System is designed to deposit active layer polymers, buffer layers, and PEDOT coatings in organic solar cell manufacturing.

Dr. Aaron Fafarman and his research group at Drexel University’s Chemical & Biological Engineering Dept. use this single length glovebox with recirculating gas purification system for fabrication and spectroscopic and electrical characterization of nanocrystal films and devices. For more information on Dr. Fafarman’s reasearch visit http://www.chemeng.drexel.edu/fafarmanresearchgroup/facilities/index.html.

Joe Rheinhardt and his group at Arizona State University recently purchased an LC Technology glovebox with freezer & cold well for chemical synthesis under inert conditions.

A great video by Mount Allison University demonstrating how to use an LC Technology glovebox. To learn more about Mount Allison’s Chemistry and Biochemistry department visit mta.ca/chemistry/

Equipped for polymer synthesis, nanoparticle synthesis, and device fabrication, the Stefik Group has recently developed a new laboratory which includes an LC Technology glovebox. The glovebox features an atomic layer deposition system (ALD), feedthroughs for electrochemical measurements, and will be used for both air-free synthesis and device testing.

Undergrad students at Alexi Arango’s lab at Mount Holyoke College use an LC Technology glovebox to build layered structures such as organic LEDs and third-generation solar cells with a goal of generating renewable energy. These cells employ semiconductors such as quantum dots, molecular dyes, and metal oxides which are easily manufactured, highly efficient, and inexpensive compared to devices using silicon.

Headed by Dr. Kondo-Francois Aguey-Zinsou, the School of Chemical Engineering at The University of New South Wales is using an LC Technology glovebox for research in their EnergyH crowd-funding project. EnergyH has a goal of making hydrogen the new clean energy carrier by commercializing hydrogen based technologies. To learn more about Dr. Aguey-Zinsou’s project, watch this short video presentation:
