The primary function of the Emancipation Grid is to vaporize any unauthorized equipment that passes through it while allowing test subjects and the [[Handheld Portal Device]] to pass through. When something is vaporized, the object turns black, hovers in mid-air, and disintegrates, emitting small flames and sparks. In ''[[Portal 2]]'', this is accompanied with a loud sound when the object comes in contact with the Grid. The Emancipation Grid will glow brightly in Portal 2 as objects approach it to warn the player that it will vaporize the object once they come into contact. Portals also cannot pass through the Grid. | The primary function of the Emancipation Grid is to vaporize any unauthorized equipment that passes through it while allowing test subjects and the [[Handheld Portal Device]] to pass through.

The Emancipation Grid also causes the Handheld Portal Device to shake, signalling that it has "rebooted", and that any portals that have been placed have now been removed. This functions to give the player a clean slate upon starting a new test. It also prevents players from navigating the Aperture Science testing facilities quickly by using portals. | The Emancipation Grid also causes the Handheld Portal Device to shake, signalling that it has "rebooted", and that any portals that have been placed have now been removed.
