The Laboratory Cut Resistant Gloves category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately.
PPE and safety products must match the identified hazard, because general-purpose protection may be unsuitable for a specific chemical, exposure route or task. For dependable results, compare inspection requirements, replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use and confirm that the selected item is suitable for both the immediate task and the surrounding workflow.
Risk assessment comes first, followed by selection of suitable engineering controls, PPE, emergency equipment, inspection routines and replacement intervals. This coordinated approach is particularly useful in research, clinical, education, manufacturing, field and service laboratories, where repeatability and clear operating procedures matter. As part of the Laboratory Safety & PPE range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Cut Resistant Gloves range
Our collection covers cut resistant gloves for chemical handling, these gloves for use with touchscreens, level 5 and level c cut resistance, and applications for hpv grip dots, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Cut resistant gloves for chemical handling
Most mechanical protection gloves, like the Ansell HyFlex 11-818, are not liquid-proof and should not be used for chemical protection unless paired with a proper chemical-resistant outer glove. Key differences are usually found in inspection requirements, replacement and storage, and identified hazard. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. This is especially valuable when teams need to support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
These gloves for use with touchscreens
Many modern cut-resistant models, including the Ansell HyFlex 11-818 and certain Uvex C500 variants, are designed with touchscreen-compatible fibres to allow for digital device use without removing protection. Selection should take account of replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. This is especially valuable when teams need to support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Level 5 and Level C cut resistance
Level 5 refers to the older EN 388 "Coup Test" standard, while Level C refers to the updated ISO 13997 TDM test. Level C is generally recommended for medium-risk tasks involving sharp objects. Key differences are usually found in identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, and material compatibility. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. This is especially valuable when teams need to support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Applications for HPV grip dots
High-Performance Vinyl (HPV) dots, found on Uvex C500 Dry models, are designed to significantly increase grip and abrasion resistance in dry or slightly damp working conditions. Selection should take account of protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. This is especially valuable when teams need to support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can cut resistant gloves be used for chemical handling?
Most mechanical protection gloves, like the Ansell HyFlex 11-818, are not liquid-proof and should not be used for chemical protection unless paired with a proper chemical-resistant outer glove. Laboratories should compare material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Are these gloves suitable for use with touchscreens?
Many modern cut-resistant models, including the Ansell HyFlex 11-818 and certain Uvex C500 variants, are designed with touchscreen-compatible fibres to allow for digital device use without removing protection. For cut resistant gloves, also check material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements so the product fits the complete procedure.
What is the difference between Level 5 and Level C cut resistance?
Level 5 refers to the older EN 388 "Coup Test" standard, while Level C refers to the updated ISO 13997 TDM test. Level C is generally recommended for medium-risk tasks involving sharp objects. Laboratories should compare material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements and document the selected setup for consistent use.
What are HPV grip dots used for?
High-Performance Vinyl (HPV) dots, found on Uvex C500 Dry models, are designed to significantly increase grip and abrasion resistance in dry or slightly damp working conditions. The final choice should reflect material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
Which specifications matter most when comparing cut resistant gloves?
Start with the application and sample, then compare material compatibility, fit and coverage, inspection requirements, and replacement and storage. Check compatibility with existing equipment and confirm any accessories, consumables, calibration items or replacement parts required for routine use. Laboratories should compare material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements and document the selected setup for consistent use.
