How to select the appropriate gloves

Glove Selection

  1. Choose the appropriate glove based upon the operating conditions:
    • manipulation of glassware and other equipment
    • solvents and reagents (see list on next page)
    • temperature (Cryo gloves (blue ones) should not be used to hold hot objects) immersion time
  2. Periodically inspect the gloves you are wearing for signals of degradation:
    • swelling and wrinkling
    • hardening
    • deterioration
    • delamination
    • discoloration
