Abstract

The invention relates to an insulator apparatus ( 10 ), in particular for pharmaceutical and/or biotechnological applications, having a manipulation chamber ( 12 ), at least one work glove ( 14 ) insertable into the manipulation chamber ( 12 ), and a sensor ( 16 ) for detecting an inserted state of the at least one work glove ( 14 ), the at least one work glove ( 14 ) being insertable into an access opening ( 18 ) of the manipulation chamber ( 12 ) in an exchangeable manner and sealing the insulator apparatus ( 10 ) when inserted. The sensor ( 16 ) is disposed at a distance to the access opening ( 18 ) in the manipulation chamber ( 12 ) and connected to a detection unit ( 20 ), a detection area ( 22 ) of the sensor ( 16 ) comprising at least one operating area of the at least one work glove ( 14 ) in the area of the access opening ( 18 ), in particular a cross section having a diameter (D) of the access opening ( 18 ), in order to detect and to evaluate, by means of the detection unit ( 20 ), at least a change and/or an operation of the at least one work glove ( 14 ) in the manipulation chamber ( 12 ).
