Miffy gloves can increase the friction between the vessel and the gloves, making it easier for the experimenter to grip the vessel and avoid unnecessary danger.

Second sterilization

The laboratory is a dust-free, polluted environment. Small dust may affect the experimental process, resulting in inaccurate experimental results. At this time, it is necessary to select sterilization gloves to reduce the generation of bacteria so as to ensure the experimental results. The commonly used glove sterilization methods are ethylene oxide sterilization and gamma sterilization.

Three no powder

Powders in disposable powder gloves can reduce the moisture in the hands, causing dry skin and irritation. Severe people may develop contact dermatitis. As the experimenter wears gloves on and off in the air, the powder will spread out in the form of an aerosol and become a carrier for the transmission of pathogens.
