A comprehensive Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) considers all potential sources of contamination and the measures used to minimise them.

Among these measures, glove selection plays an important role.

For some cleanroom applications, standard glove lengths may not provide the level of coverage required during critical handling operations and disinfection procedures.

The SHIELDskin XTREME™ Sterile White Nitrile 400 DI+ glove offers:

✔ Triple deionised water washing for enhanced cleanliness
✔ Sterile packaging for sensitive pharmaceutical processes
✔ A 400 mm length for improved sleeve and forearm coverage
✔ Effective particulate and biological contamination control

Not all Category III disposable gloves provide the same level of protection against chemicals.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, operators may be exposed throughout the day to a range of substances, including disinfectants such as 70% isopropanol (IPA).

A glove's chemical resistance depends not only on its material and thickness, but also on its conditions of use. Body heat, mechanical stress during use and moisture generated by perspiration can all influence chemical breakthrough performance.

This is why selecting a glove based solely on its chemical protection type (A, B or C) is not always enough. The chemicals used during testing may differ from those handled in the workplace.

Appropriate glove selection should always be based on a thorough risk assessment.

Because effective chemical protection starts with informed glove selection.

Choosing the right cleanroom glove is not only about comfort or grip. It is also about selecting a cleanliness level appropriate to your environment.

To support glove selection, the SHIELDskin XTREME™ range is available in three cleanliness levels:

✨ DI for basic particle contamination control
✨ DI+ for high particle contamination control
✨ DI++ for extreme particle contamination control

Sterile and non sterile versions are also available to address biological contamination control requirements according to the needs of each application.

Since the revised EU GMP Annex 1 came into force, contamination control is expected to be embedded throughout aseptic manufacturing processes.

One often overlooked aspect is the handling of sterile cleanroom gloves. Storage conditions, packaging systems, donning practices and glove removal procedures can all contribute to maintaining the integrity of a controlled environment.

In this video, we explore:

✔ Glove traceability and supporting certificates
✔ The role of multi layer packaging in critical cleanroom areas
✔ Best practices when moving between different cleanroom grades
✔ Why extra long sterile gloves and double gloving can support aseptic operations

For facilities operating under stringent aseptic requirements, the SHIELDskin XTREME™ sterile cleanroom glove range is available in lengths from 300 mm to 600 mm.

When biological and chemical risks coexist, choosing the right glove becomes more complex.

Many laboratory procedures involve biological samples alongside disinfectants, fixatives, solvents or other chemicals. In these situations, protection depends not only on glove performance, but also on confidence in glove integrity.

Discover SHIELDskin™ ORANGE NITRILE™ 300 Sterile, our sterile 300 mm glove with an AQL of 0.25, and explore its performance against a wide range of laboratory chemicals.

Biological risks are part of everyday laboratory work. But what about the chemical risks?

Many chemicals used in biological laboratories can degrade glove materials or permeate through them over time, even when gloves appear intact.

Before handling a chemical, ask yourself:

✔ Has the glove been tested against the chemical being used?
✔ What is its breakthrough time?
✔ How does the chemical affect the glove material?
✔ Is the protection suitable for the duration of the task?

Taking a few minutes to check chemical compatibility can help reduce the risk of exposure and support safer laboratory practices.

Choosing a glove is only the first step. A glove can only help protect your hands if it can withstand the chemicals you use.

The best glove for your laboratory work? It depends.

Different laboratory tasks present different risks, which is why glove selection deserves more thought than simply choosing a familiar material or brand.

When working with biological samples, consider factors such as:
✔ Category III PPE certification and CE marking
✔ Protection against micro-organisms and viruses
✔ Low AQL for enhanced barrier integrity
✔ Appropriate cuff length
✔ Nitrile or latex suitability for the application

SHIELD Scientific's traffic light system helps simplify selection:
🟢 General risks (low-medium risks)
🟠 Biological risks (medium-high risks)
🔴 Chemical risks (high-severe/major/critical risks)

RNase contamination is invisible, but its impact on RNA work can be significant.

Protecting RNA integrity is not only about using RNase-free reagents.

It also depends on good laboratory practices, contamination control measures and appropriate glove selection.

Our latest article explores the key factors that help reduce RNase contamination risks in RNA-sensitive environments.
