Abstract: Controlled atmosphere cabinet has enclosure (110;210) with means providing visibility (110F; 210F) of its interior from outside, gas supply (113-116, 212-216) for desired or target composition of internal atmosphere, controlled lock-type access (112) for manual introduction and removal of items, and hand/arm access port provision (111A, B; 211A, B) for manipulation of said samples in the cabinet. Gas supply associated control means (230-240) serves during use of the cabinet (other than normal atmosphere augmenting in use of the lock-type access) for additional gas supply further to correct or compensate for effects actually or potentially adverse to maintaining the desired or target internal atmosphere composition, via operator-actuated input means (121t, 123; 222) and/or means (122, 124, 139; 225) for sensing prescribed conditions to which the control means is responsive for said additional gas supply.

Abstract translation: 受控气氛柜具有外壳（110; 210），其具有从外部提供其内部的可视性（110F; 210F）的装置，用于期望的或目标组成的内部气氛的气体供应（113-116,212-216），受控的锁式接入 （112），用于手动引入和移除物品，以及用于操纵柜中的所述样品的手/臂进出口提供（111A，B; 211A，B）。 气体供应相关的控制装置（230-240）在柜​​的使用期间（除了使用锁式通道的正常大气增加之外）用于额外的气体供应，以进一步校正或补偿实际上或潜在地不利于维持期望的 或目标内部气氛组成，经由操作者致动的输入装置（121t，123; 222）和/或用于感测控制装置对所述附加气体供应响应的规定条件的装置（122,124,139; 225）。
