Are glove boxes that completely isolate biohazards considered ideal for all laboratory experiments?

Glove boxes that completely isolate biohazards are not considered ideal for all laboratory experiments because their use is often limited by specific types of experiments and the nature of the biohazards involved. While glove boxes provide a high level of containment and protection, they also restrict access and may limit experimental manipulations, particularly for complex procedures that require direct interaction with the biological material.

For many experiments, the use of open bench techniques or other forms of containment can be sufficient and more practical. Additionally, some experiments may require the use of specialized equipment or conditions that are difficult to achieve within the confines of a glove box. Therefore, while glove boxes are an excellent tool for specific high-risk biohazards, they are not universally ideal for all laboratory work, making this statement false.
