ConductScience Nitrile Gloves, Large, Powder-Free, Blue (Case of 10)
$65.00 per unit | 10 units per pack Bulk pricing: Case of 10 at $650.00 ($65.00 per unit)
Disposable nitrile examination gloves engineered for laboratory and research environments where latex-free protection is required. These powder-free gloves feature 4.0 mil thickness construction with textured fingertips for enhanced grip during precision handling tasks. The blue coloration provides visual contrast for contamination detection and procedural documentation.
Designed for single-use applications across research protocols requiring barrier protection against biological materials, chemical reagents, and cross-contamination prevention. The nitrile construction offers superior puncture resistance compared to latex alternatives while maintaining tactile sensitivity for delicate manipulations.
How It Works
Nitrile gloves function as a barrier protection system through the inherent properties of synthetic nitrile rubber (acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer). The polymer chains create a continuous membrane that prevents penetration of aqueous solutions, many organic solvents, and biological materials while maintaining flexibility and tactile response.
The textured fingertip surface is created through controlled manufacturing processes that generate microscopic surface irregularities, increasing the coefficient of friction between the glove surface and handled objects. This textural enhancement provides secure grip on wet or smooth surfaces commonly encountered in laboratory environments. The powder-free formulation eliminates potential contamination from cornstarch or other dusting agents that could interfere with analytical procedures or biological assays.

Comparison Guide
| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material Construction | Nitrile (acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer) | Latex or vinyl construction in basic examination gloves | Provides latex-free protection with superior chemical resistance for diverse laboratory reagents |
| Thickness Specification | 4.0 mil thickness | Entry-level gloves often range from 2-3 mil thickness | Enhanced durability and barrier protection for extended laboratory procedures |
| Powder Formulation | Powder-free design | Some examination gloves contain cornstarch powder | Eliminates potential contamination sources that could interfere with analytical measurements |
| Fingertip Texture | Textured fingertips | Basic gloves often feature smooth surfaces | Improved grip performance on wet laboratory glassware and smooth surfaces |
These nitrile gloves provide latex-free protection with enhanced thickness and textured grip surfaces. The powder-free formulation reduces contamination risks in analytical and biological applications.
Practical Tips
Change gloves between different chemical procedures or sample types to prevent cross-contamination.
Why: Residual chemicals or biological materials can compromise subsequent analyses or introduce artifacts.
Inspect gloves for tears or punctures before each use, especially when handling sharp instruments.
Why: Compromised barrier protection can result in chemical exposure or biological contamination.
Store glove dispensers in cool, dry locations away from direct sunlight and ozone sources.
Why: Heat, UV exposure, and ozone can degrade nitrile polymers and reduce barrier performance.
Use proper donning technique by grasping only the cuff to avoid compromising the barrier surface.
Why: Touching the exterior surface during application can transfer contaminants to the protective barrier.
If gloves feel tight or restrict movement, verify size selection and consider the next larger size.
Why: Overstretched gloves are more prone to tearing and provide reduced tactile response.
Document glove lot numbers when performing trace analysis or when contamination control is critical.
Why: Batch traceability enables investigation of potential contamination sources in analytical procedures.

Compliance
What is the chemical resistance profile of these nitrile gloves?
Nitrile offers good resistance to oils, greases, and many organic solvents, but specific breakthrough times vary by chemical. Consult chemical compatibility charts for specific reagents used in your protocols.
How does the 4.0 mil thickness compare to standard examination gloves?
The 4.0 mil thickness provides enhanced durability compared to thinner 3-4 mil options while maintaining adequate tactile response for laboratory manipulations.
Are these gloves suitable for cleanroom environments?
The powder-free formulation reduces particulate generation, but specific cleanroom classification depends on the facility's requirements and contamination control protocols.
What is the shelf life and storage requirements?
Nitrile gloves typically maintain performance for 3-5 years when stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and ozone exposure.
How do the textured fingertips affect grip performance?
The textured surface increases friction coefficient, improving grip on smooth laboratory glassware and wet surfaces compared to smooth-finish gloves.
Can these gloves be used with organic solvents?
Nitrile provides better solvent resistance than latex, but breakthrough times vary significantly by specific solvent. Test compatibility with your specific chemicals.
