General description

The Zerostat 3 prevents charged particles from "flying" around during weighing or transfer, and keeps film, glass, and plasticware dust and lint-free. It incorporates the latest development with a unique ′Piezo Crystal′ device which has been proven worldwide in neutralizing static electricity found in a variety of items located in the laboratory.

This versatile instrument is portable and does not require batteries, electrical power supply or refills. Life expectancy is 50,000+ squeeze cycles (handle action).

Each Zerostat 3 comes with a test ion-indicator to confirm that the unit is working properly.

NOTE: The crystal can be affected by moisture. This is not permanent and can be reversed by drying. To get the best from the unit it should be stored in a dry environment (desiccate would be ideal or just over packed with some silica gel for 1 or 2 days). As soon as the crystal has dried the unit should work again.

Warning

CAUTION! DO NOT USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE OR COMBUSTIBLE ENVIRONMENT.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. Can I use it in the glovebox (argon)? Can the vacuum in the airlock damage it? Thanks

    1 answer
    1. The Zerostat gun, in theory, may be used in any atmosphere, including inert gases such as argon or nitrogen. Typical vacuum pressure, such as when used in glovebox applications, are not expected to impact the product. However, great caution should be applied when considering use with or in flammable or combustible gases. The effectiveness of the gun in some other atmospheres depends on how readily other gaseous atmosphere ionize, that is, the equivalent to oxygen converting from O2 to O3.

  3. Is this product a stand alone device?

    1 answer
    1. The Zerostat operates without the need for batteries or an electrical supply. Additionally, it contains no radioactive components, distinguishing it from other antistatic products.
