What types of gloves are suitable for histology work?
The choice of gloves depends on the specific tasks and chemicals used:
- Nitrile gloves: Resistant to many chemicals and punctures, making them suitable for most histology tasks. - Latex gloves: Offer good dexterity but may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. - Vinyl gloves: Suitable for low-risk tasks but provide less chemical resistance and durability. - Double-gloving: Recommended for handling particularly hazardous chemicals or infectious materials.
