What are the recommended lab gloves? How to choose nitrile and latex?

Laboratory gloves can be selected according to the experimental needs and personal situation, nitrile gloves and latex gloves are common types. The following are the relevant recommendations and selection methods: Laboratory gloves recommended – Nitrile gloves: Ansell 10-154 nitrile gloves, chemical resistance, resistant to strong acids and alkalis such as concentrated sulfuric acid, anti-static, breathable and flexible fingers, suitable for organic synthesis, cellular experiments and other scenarios. In addition, Lee Clean nitrile gloves are also good, with good oil resistance and puncture resistance, suitable for chemical, electronics and other laboratories. – Latex gloves: Adopting hypoallergenic and low-protein formula, Lijie synthetic latex gloves are acid- and alkali-resistant, puncture-resistant, and ergonomically designed for biochemical experiments and precision instrument use. There are also latex gloves containing aloe vera, in addition to the functions of conventional latex gloves, but also moisturize the hand skin, comfortable to wear, suitable for routine molecular experiments. Nitrile gloves and latex gloves selection method – Considering allergy: If you are allergic to latex, you should choose nitrile gloves. Nitrile gloves do not contain latex protein and rarely cause allergic reactions. If you are not allergic, you can consider both. – According to the chemical resistance demand: often contact with strong acid, strong alkali, organic solvents and other chemicals, nitrile gloves is a better choice, its chemical resistance is excellent. If only contact with some water solution, weak acid and alkali, latex gloves can basically meet the demand. – According to the requirements of operation fineness: Latex gloves have excellent elasticity and can closely fit the hand, which is more suitable for experiments with high requirements on operation fineness, such as precision instrument assembly, surgical simulation, and so on. Nitrile gloves are slightly less flexible, but they can also meet the dexterity requirements of most experiments. – Budget factor: Latex gloves are usually relatively low in price and cost-effective; nitrile gloves are slightly higher in price but have superior performance, which can be chosen according to the budget of the laboratory.
