The day after uncrating the glovebox, we were able to join it together and do our first regen. It turns out this wasn't totally necessary, since the catalyst comes from the manufacturer in an activated state. But still, it can't hurt.

We built gas-addition quick connect fittings which are plumbed into the glovebox. Not pictured is a braided stainless-steel hose, which you can plug into the barrel-shaped connector in the center left of the image. This hose can be connected to a pressure vessel to perform high-pressure reactions inside of the box. Schlenk line purists everywhere shudder at the thought!

Continuing the slow but steady process of filling the glovebox.
