A technique is provided whereby hydrogen peroxide introduced into a working chamber containing a resin component is reduced to a low concentration in a shorter time than before. The present invention resides in a method of maintaining a sterile environment of a working chamber that contains a resin component, and includes a step (a) of introducing hydrogen peroxide into the working chamber, a step (b) of introducing air into the working chamber through a filter after completion of the step (a), a step (c) of generating ozone by irradiating the air with ultraviolet having a peak wavelength of from 160 nm to less than 200 nm upstream of the filter or inside the working chamber and introducing the ozone into the working chamber, and a step (d) of decomposing the ozone introduced into the working chamber into oxygen radicals.

The present disclosure relates to a glove arrangement (20) for mounting to a barrier wall (15) of a barrier system (10) comprising a sleeve arrangement (21). The first and second sleeves (40, 41) comprise first and second internal surfaces (90, 91). The intermediate sleeve (40) comprises an intermediate internal surface (92), an outer perimeter (61) attached to the first sleeve (40) and an inner perimeter (62) attached to the second sleeve (41), the outer perimeter (61) having a greater diameter than the inner perimeter (62). In an extended configuration the first sleeve (40) extends from the second and intermediate sleeves (40) for use during manipulation of the glove (22) by an operator. In a retracted configuration the second sleeve (41) is retracted at least partially inside the first sleeve (40) about the intermediate sleeve (40) such that the first and second internal surfaces (90, 91) at least partially face each other. The intermediate sleeve (40) separates the intermediate internal surface (92) from itself and from the first and second internal surfaces (90, 91) to form a cavity (48) between the first, second and intermediate internal surfaces (90, 91, 92).

A work glove is installed at the port flange, with the result that the operator can enter the working chamber of the containment in a protected manner. A multiplicity of port flanges are usually mounted on the containment and a work glove is fastened in each case to the respective port flange. Machinery for processing material to be treated is often set up in the working chamber. In order to temporarily block the access, a shut-off part which can be moved into a blocking position and an open position is provided. In order to record personal data relating to the operator, the arrangement has a capture unit which has a connection to a microcontroller.
