Others
- Increased Contamination Risk: Many of these models feature covered holes for hand integration, which can create air turbulence as you move your hands in and out (piston effect), particularly when sterilizing tools such as scalpels. This is by definition not STILL AIR and can increase your contamination issues.
- Prone to Damage: These models consist of a thin plastic layer and a zipper, making them susceptible to damage. Likely, this design choice was intended to optimize shipping efficiency by minimizing volume.
- Missing Sterilization Tool: Working within a still air box inherently involves using a sterilization tool; one is essential to the other. However, they are not typically sold together as a package.
- Limited Visibility: Operating within a Still Air Box requires precise manipulations where accuracy is crucial. Yet, these units do not come equipped with lighting to improve visibility.

View allGeneral Questions about a Still Air Box
Yes! The Still Air Box is basicaly a plastic container with two arm holes designed based on principles of physics to create a workspace with very little air movement. Its design effectively limits the flow of air, ensuring that any potential contaminants stay settled on surfaces rather than becoming airborne. This reduction in air movement dramatically lowers the risk of contamination during the sanitization process, making it a critical tool for maintaining a sterile environment in mushroom cultivation.
Still air boxes are available on the market for between $40 and $80. Alternatively, you can craft a basic version of a still air box (DIY) for about $15, assuming you already possess the necessary tools at home.
A laminar flow hood is a fan with a special HEPA filter that gives 99,9% clean air.
On the other hand, a Still Air Box is a plastic container with two holes for your arms with the primary function to provide an area with minimal air movement (still air). This still air ensures that contaminants remain settled on surfaces, reducing the risk of airborne contamination (sanitization).
Experimentation with glove boxes (rubber gloves attach in the arm holes) uncovered their limitations in managing air movement, essential for minimizing contamination. Their sealed nature often leads to a "piston effect," amplifying air currents and thereby increasing the risk of contamination. This understanding has led the mycology community to agree that the Still Air Box, with its better design, offers a more reliable way to keep conditions sterile.
Some choose an economical method with cardboard and saran wrap for visibility, targeting a cost-effective, collapsible design to conserve space when not in use.
The typical choice of material is a plastic container, though plexiglass versions offer durability and aesthetics at a higher cost without significant benefits.
Some opt for a budget-friendly approach using cardboard and saran wrap (for visibility), aiming for an inexpensive, collapsible design that saves space when not in use.
Using an induction heater in Trippy Tek’s Still Air Box eliminates the risks associated with open flames in an enclosed space. While sterilizing with 70% isopropyl alcohol is effective, it creates fumes that can become explosive when combined with a flame. The induction heater provides a safe, flame-free method to sterilize tools, thereby preventing any chance of igniting alcohol vapors and ensuring a safer cultivation experience.
Absolutely, the Trippy Tek Still Air Box is ideal for tissue culture work. Its design, which limits air movement, creates the sterile environment needed for the delicate process of culturing tissues from plants or other organisms.
There's a method circulating online that bypasses the need for drilling arm holes. It involves positioning your plastic container at the edge of your worktable, allowing you to access your tools from beneath the box. This approach might seem appealing as it avoids the challenge of cutting precise holes. However, it could lead to discomfort during longer SAB sessions, which can range from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of your project and the supplies involved.
