The isolation of air-sensitive two-dimensional (2D) materials and the race toachieve a better control of the interfaces in van der Waals heterostructureshas pushed the scientific community towards the development of experimentalsetups that allow to exfoliate and transfer 2D materials under inertatmospheric conditions. These systems are typically based on over pressurizedN2 of Ar gloveboxes that require the use of very thick gloves to operate withinthe chamber or the implementation of several motorized micro-manipulators.Here, we set up a deterministic transfer system for 2D materials within agloveless anaerobic chamber. Unlike other setups based on over-pressurizedgloveboxes, in our system the operator can manipulate the 2D materials withinthe chamber with bare hands. This experimental setup allows us to exfoliate 2Dmaterials and to deterministically place them at a desired location withaccuracy in a controlled O2-free and very low humidity (<2% RH) atmosphere. Weillustrate the potential of this system to work with air-sensitive 2D materialsby comparing the stability of black phosphorus and perovskite flakes inside andoutside the anaerobic chamber.
