Rapidly Deployable Biocontainment System
No other field-deployable unit meets the complete requirement set for a Class III Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) and the glovebox standards set by the American Glovebox Society (AGS), which is what makes Germfree’s Portable Glove Box (PGB) the first of its kind. Weighing 170 lbs with the standard HEPA filtration system, it breaks down into two compact pieces for transport, portable enough to move on your terms and still a full Class 3 BSC once it’s reassembled.
Remote sites come with their own obstacles to Class III containment: tight space, tight budgets. The PGB was engineered around exactly those constraints, without cutting the features, functionality, or operator comfort you’d expect to lose along the way. Deploy it, reassemble it on-site, and skip the dedicated cleanroom altogether.
Suitability
Designed to meet the needs of multiple applications, the Portable Glovebox is ideal for a wide range of industries and facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Portable Glove Box (PGB)?
Germfree’s PGB is the first field-deployable containment device that meets all requirements for a Class 3 Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC), as well as the glovebox standards set by the American Glovebox Society (AGS).
How portable is it, really?
The PGB weighs 170 lbs with its standard HEPA filtration system and disassembles into two compact pieces for transport, making it lightweight enough to deploy and reassemble on-site without needing a dedicated cleanroom around it.
What problem was the PGB designed to solve?
It was built to solve the primary obstacles to Class 3 containment in remote areas with space constraints and cost limitations, giving you full containment capability without the features, functionality, or user comfort typically sacrificed for portability.
What facilities and applications is it suitable for?
The PGB is designed for mobile and modular biocontainment facilities, supporting applications in biosafety and biosecurity as well as disease response and surveillance.
What models are available?
The PGB is available in PGB-30 and PGB-36 models, with documented specifications for interior workspace, exterior and transport case dimensions, airflow, construction, electrical, filtration, and gloveports.
Do I need a cleanroom to use the PGB?
No, the PGB is built to be deployed and reassembled on-site without a dedicated cleanroom, making it suited to remote or space-constrained locations.
