The Laboratory Gloves category covers equipment and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. These products are not isolated purchases, because their performance is tied to the sample, surrounding equipment and the way the wider method is carried out. A practical point for this category is that bel-Art and Bürkle offer professional laboratory-grade glove box holders and dispensers that help maintain an organized and hygienic workspace.
PPE and safety products must match the identified hazard, because general-purpose protection may be unsuitable for a specific chemical, exposure route or task. This is why laboratories should assess protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements before choosing a product, rather than relying only on capacity, appearance or headline specifications.
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 Gloves range
Our collection covers the main product groups used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response, from glove box holders through to vinyl gloves.
Laboratory Glove Box Holders
The Laboratory Glove Box Holders range covers equipment and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Stainless steel dispensers, like those from KEK, are ideal for cleanrooms and sterile environments because they are extremely durable, non-porous, and can withstand aggressive decontamination protocols.
Laboratory Chemical Protective Gloves
The Laboratory Chemical Protective Gloves range supports laboratories that need to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Neoprene, like that used in the Ansell DermaShield series, generally offers broader resistance to a wider variety of acids, bases, and alcohols compared to standard nitrile, while remaining highly flexible.
Laboratory Cotton Safety Gloves
The Laboratory Cotton Safety Gloves range supports laboratories that need to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Monofilament materials, like those in the MEWA KORSAR series, are woven to be smoother and more resistant to pilling or fraying, making them ideal for tasks where lint contamination must be minimised.
Laboratory Cut Resistant Gloves
The Laboratory Cut Resistant Gloves range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. 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.
Laboratory Latex Gloves
The Laboratory Latex Gloves range covers equipment and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. The COMFORT series is a standard high-quality white latex glove, while the SELECT BLUE series provides the same protective benefits in a vibrant blue colour for easier visual identification.
Laboratory Nitrile Gloves
The Laboratory Nitrile Gloves range supports laboratories that need to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Standard Long models, like those from LLG Labware, feature an extended cuff that provides extra protection for the wrist and lower forearm, which is particularly useful when reaching into deep containers or working with splashes.
Laboratory Temperature Protective Gloves
The Laboratory Temperature Protective Gloves range brings together products designed to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. The extended 400mm length provides critical protection for the forearm, preventing accidental splashes of liquid nitrogen from entering the glove or contacting bare skin.
Laboratory Vinyl Gloves
The Laboratory Vinyl Gloves range covers equipment and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. PVC vinyl (like Unigloves PREMIUM) is generally more durable and fits more snugly, while LDPE (like Franz Mensch Polyclassic) is a thinner, looser-fitting polyethylene used for basic hygiene and food handling.
Featured brands
Kimberly-Clark is known for low-lint wipes, protective apparel and workplace hygiene consumables, AS ONE is known for cleanroom supplies, compact laboratory equipment and general consumables, and LLG Labware is known for practical laboratory consumables, accessories and routine bench supplies. Compare each brand by protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements, and check what is included with the product so the complete setup is clear before ordering.
