The Laboratory Latex 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.
PPE and safety products must match the identified hazard, because general-purpose protection may be unsuitable for a specific chemical, exposure route or task. A well-matched setup balances fit and coverage, inspection requirements, replacement and storage, and identified hazard, helping the laboratory avoid unnecessary rework, difficult cleaning or premature replacement.
Risk assessment comes first, followed by selection of suitable engineering controls, PPE, emergency equipment, inspection routines and replacement intervals. When each stage is matched correctly, laboratories in research, clinical, education, manufacturing, field and service laboratories can work more consistently and manage changeovers, replenishment and maintenance with fewer interruptions. 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 Latex Gloves range
Our collection covers using latex gloves with all chemicals, these latex gloves powder-free, unigloves comfort and select blue, and choosing the right size, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Using Latex gloves with all chemicals
While latex provides a good biological barrier and works for many dilute acids and bases, for aggressive solvents, you should consult the Chemical Protective Gloves category for neoprene or nitrile alternatives. Before ordering, compare fit and coverage, inspection requirements, and replacement and storage. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
These latex gloves powder-free
The majority of professional models we stock, including the Unigloves COMFORT and SELECT series, are powder-free to reduce the risk of allergic reactions and contamination. 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. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
Unigloves COMFORT and SELECT BLUE
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. Before ordering, compare replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
Choosing the right size
Sizes range from XS (Size 5-6) to XL (Size 9-10). A snug fit is vital for maintaining the high tactile sensitivity that latex is known for; loose gloves can impair precision. Before ordering, compare identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, and material compatibility. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. In practice, this supports efforts to support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
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 fit and coverage, inspection requirements, replacement and storage, and identified hazard, and check what is included with the product so the complete setup is clear before ordering.
