Blue Disposable Nitrile Cleaning Gloves (200 Ct One Size Fits Most)

Two hundred gloves. That is not a bulk purchase — that is a working supply. For any cultivator running regular sessions, a standard 100-count box disappears faster than expected. Change gloves between species, re-glove after contacting non-sterile surfaces, run multiple sessions per week — a box of 100 becomes a box of 50 very quickly. The 200-count is the box that actually lasts.

Your bare hands do not belong anywhere near your cultures. Human skin sheds bacteria, oils, and dead cells constantly — none of which belong near open agar plates, grain jar ports, or liquid culture syringes. Nitrile gloves are the minimum barrier between your biology and your mycelium. Not optional. Not situational. Every session, every time.

Nitrile is the correct material for mycology lab work. Unlike latex it is chemical-resistant — 70% isopropyl alcohol, your primary disinfectant, can be sprayed directly onto nitrile gloves repeatedly without degrading them. Unlike vinyl, nitrile conforms closely to the hand and provides the tactile sensitivity needed for precise work inside a still air box — scalpel transfers, syringe handling, port inoculation.

Powder-free construction is non-negotiable for lab use. Powdered gloves shed fine particulates that can contaminate agar plates and culture media. These are powder-free. Clean hands, clean work. 

Correct glove protocol:

• Wash hands surgically before gloving up
• Spray gloves with 70% IPA before entering your SAB
• Re-spray after contacting any non-sterile surface mid-session
• Change between species or contamination risk levels
• Never touch your face, phone, or clothing after gloving without re-spraying

Two hundred gloves. One less thing to run out of.
