ConductScience Nitrile Gloves, Medium, Powder-Free, Black (Case of 10)
$72.00 per unit | 10 units per pack Bulk pricing: Case of 10 at $720.00 ($72.00 per unit)
ConductScience Nitrile Gloves provide chemical-resistant hand protection for laboratory applications requiring enhanced barrier properties. These powder-free, black nitrile gloves feature 5.0 mil thickness, offering superior puncture resistance and chemical compatibility compared to standard examination gloves. The black coloration provides visual contrast for detecting contamination and reduces hand fatigue during extended use under laboratory lighting.
Designed for histological processing and chemical handling protocols, these gloves maintain tactile sensitivity while providing reliable protection against organic solvents, fixatives, and laboratory reagents. The powder-free formulation eliminates potential contamination of samples and reduces allergic reactions associated with latex proteins and powder additives.
How It Works
Nitrile gloves provide barrier protection through the synthetic rubber polymer acrylonitrile-butadiene, which offers superior chemical resistance compared to natural latex. The polymer structure creates a continuous barrier that resists penetration by organic solvents, oils, and many laboratory chemicals while maintaining flexibility and tactile sensitivity.
The 5.0 mil thickness provides enhanced puncture resistance and extended breakthrough times for chemical exposure. The powder-free manufacturing process eliminates cornstarch additives that can interfere with analytical procedures or cause allergic reactions, while the black pigmentation allows for easy detection of contamination and reduces glare under laboratory lighting conditions.

These gloves provide enhanced chemical barrier protection through 5.0 mil thickness construction and powder-free nitrile formulation. The black coloration offers practical advantages for contamination detection in laboratory environments.
Practical Tips
Select glove size that allows full finger dexterity without excessive looseness at the wrist.
Why: Proper fit ensures optimal tactile sensitivity and prevents glove slippage during precision work.
Never reuse disposable nitrile gloves or attempt to wash and sterilize them.
Why: Chemical permeation and micro-tears compromise barrier integrity and cannot be reversed.
Store glove boxes in temperature-controlled environments below 100°F (38°C).
Why: Heat exposure degrades nitrile polymers and reduces chemical resistance properties.
Change gloves between different chemical exposures to prevent cross-contamination.
Why: Residual chemicals on glove surfaces can react with subsequent reagents or contaminate samples.
Use powder-free gloves when handling samples for spectroscopic or chromatographic analysis.
Why: Powder residues can interfere with analytical measurements and create background signals.
If gloves feel loose during use, check for swelling caused by chemical permeation.
Why: Chemical breakthrough can cause nitrile polymers to swell, indicating compromised protection.

Compliance
What chemical compatibility should I expect with common laboratory solvents?
Nitrile gloves provide good resistance to most organic solvents, oils, and aqueous solutions. However, breakthrough times vary significantly with specific chemicals - always consult chemical compatibility charts for your particular applications and replace gloves immediately if breakthrough occurs.
How does the 5.0 mil thickness compare to standard examination gloves?
The 5.0 mil thickness is approximately 25-40% thicker than standard 3.5-4.0 mil examination gloves, providing enhanced puncture resistance and extended chemical barrier protection while maintaining adequate tactile sensitivity for laboratory manipulations.
Are these gloves suitable for sterile cell culture work?
These are non-sterile gloves suitable for general laboratory chemical handling. For sterile cell culture applications, consider gamma-sterilized gloves or use appropriate aseptic techniques with these gloves in sterile environments.
What are the storage requirements to maintain glove integrity?
Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and ozone sources. Avoid storage temperatures above 100°F (38°C) as heat can degrade nitrile polymers and reduce barrier effectiveness.
How do I determine when gloves need replacement during extended procedures?
Replace gloves immediately upon visible damage, after 2-4 hours of continuous use with chemicals, or when tactile sensitivity is compromised. Chemical breakthrough may occur without visible signs, so time-based replacement is critical for safety.
