ConductScience Nitrile Gloves, X-Large, Powder-Free, Blue (Case of 10)
$68.00 per unit | 10 units per pack Bulk pricing: Case of 10 at $680.00 ($68.00 per unit)
ConductScience Nitrile Gloves provide essential hand protection for laboratory and research environments. These X-large, powder-free examination gloves feature 4.0 mil thickness construction and textured fingertips for enhanced grip during precise manipulations. The latex-free nitrile material offers chemical resistance and tactile sensitivity required for handling specimens, reagents, and laboratory equipment.
The blue coloration provides visual contrast for identifying potential contamination or tears during use. Powder-free formulation eliminates the risk of powder-related sample contamination or allergic reactions, making these gloves suitable for sensitive analytical procedures and sterile technique applications.
How It Works
Nitrile gloves function as a barrier protection system through the inherent properties of synthetic nitrile rubber. The polymer chains in nitrile provide resistance to a broad spectrum of chemicals, including oils, greases, and many organic solvents commonly encountered in laboratory settings. The 4.0 mil thickness provides adequate barrier protection while maintaining tactile sensitivity for precise manual tasks.
The textured fingertip surface increases friction coefficient, enhancing grip on smooth surfaces such as glass, plastic, and metal laboratory equipment. This surface treatment is achieved through controlled manufacturing processes that create microscopic surface irregularities without compromising barrier integrity.

Comparison Guide
| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material composition | Synthetic nitrile rubber construction | Latex or vinyl alternatives commonly available | Provides chemical resistance and eliminates latex allergy concerns for sensitive users |
| Thickness specification | 4.0 mil wall thickness | Ranges from 3.0 to 6.0 mil depending on application | Balances barrier protection with tactile sensitivity for precision laboratory work |
| Surface texture | Textured fingertips for enhanced grip | Smooth or fully textured surfaces vary by manufacturer | Concentrated texturing where grip is most critical while maintaining smooth palm area |
| Powder formulation | Powder-free construction | Both powdered and powder-free options available | Eliminates powder contamination risk in analytical and sterile applications |
These nitrile gloves provide chemical-resistant hand protection with textured grip enhancement and powder-free formulation. The 4.0 mil thickness and X-large sizing accommodate users requiring robust barrier protection with maintained dexterity for laboratory procedures.
Practical Tips
Replace gloves between different chemical exposures to prevent cross-contamination and chemical interactions.
Why: Some chemicals can accumulate in glove material and react with subsequently handled substances.
Perform visual inspection before each use, particularly checking fingertip areas where punctures commonly occur.
Why: Small perforations may not be immediately noticeable but can compromise barrier protection.
Avoid stretching gloves excessively during donning as this can create stress points that may fail during use.
Why: Over-stretching weakens the nitrile material and increases puncture susceptibility.
Store gloves in original packaging away from heat sources, ozone, and UV light to prevent material degradation.
Why: Environmental factors can cause nitrile to become brittle and lose barrier properties over time.
Change gloves if they become visibly soiled, chemically exposed, or after prolonged wear periods.
Why: Extended use can lead to material fatigue and compromised barrier function.
If gloves feel tight or restrict movement, verify proper sizing as incorrect fit reduces dexterity and increases tear risk.
Why: Proper fit is essential for both protection and manual performance in laboratory tasks.
Remove gloves carefully using proper technique to avoid contact between contaminated exterior and clean hands.
Why: Improper removal can transfer contaminants from glove exterior to hands, negating protective benefits.

Compliance
What chemical resistance properties does nitrile provide compared to latex gloves?
Nitrile offers superior resistance to oils, greases, and many organic solvents compared to latex, making it more suitable for chemical handling applications.
How does 4.0 mil thickness affect tactile sensitivity for precision work?
4.0 mil provides adequate barrier protection while maintaining sufficient tactile sensitivity for most laboratory manipulations, though thinner options may be preferred for extremely delicate work.
Are these gloves appropriate for use in sterile cell culture applications?
Yes, the powder-free formulation eliminates contamination concerns, though they should be used in conjunction with proper aseptic technique rather than as a substitute for sterile gloves in critical applications.
What is the shelf life and proper storage for nitrile gloves?
Nitrile gloves typically maintain integrity for 3-5 years when stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and ozone sources.
How do textured fingertips affect sample handling procedures?
Textured surfaces improve grip on smooth laboratory equipment but may create additional surface area that could potentially harbor contaminants if not properly managed.
Can these gloves be used with common laboratory solvents?
Nitrile provides good resistance to many solvents, but compatibility should be verified for specific chemicals, particularly aromatic solvents which may cause swelling.
