A vacuum dry box is a piece of safety equipment which can provide an inert, or controlled atmosphere for handling sensitive materials.^[1] These devices can commonly be found in the fume hoods of chemistry labs,^[2] in facilities handling deadly pathogens, in NASA^[3] Moon rock handling facilities and in industrial applications. Inert atmosphere glove boxes are also used for painting and sandblasting.^[4]
