Abstract
An inexpensive, acrylic dry (glove) box has been fabricated and utilized in the handling of water- and air-sensitive materials. Working drawings are provided and a complete layout of material costs is presented. The box was experimentally determined to be moisture-free for three days and critically oxygen-free for 20 minutes under an inert gas atmosphere.
