Description
  • What it is. These cleanroom nitrile gloves are the Ansell Nitrilite 93-311, a non-sterile, powder-free nitrile glove designed for Class 100 (ISO 5) cleanrooms. The white glove is 12 inches (300 mm) long, with textured fingers and a chlorinated interior. Ansell describes the formulation as low in ionic content and particles and calls the thickness optimal for precision handling. LabPro sells five sizes from X-Small to X-Large, and the client catalog lists every SKU as a case of 1,000 gloves.
  • Why it matters. Natural rubber latex proteins and rubber curing accelerators cause different allergic reactions, known as Type I and Type IV. Ansell states that the 93-311 is free of both, which gives staff who have reacted to other gloves an alternative. The low ionic content and particle levels also matter where residue counts. Ansell recommends the glove for cleanroom cleaning and preparation, spill or leakage cleanup, weighing and dispensing raw materials, loading centrifuges and chromatography columns, blending and compounding, and assembly of parts.
  • How it performs. Ansell designed the glove for compatibility with Class 100 (ISO 5) environments. The glove meets a 2.5 AQL for freedom from holes and measures about 4.3 mil at the palm and 6.7 mil at the fingers. The listed standards include EN ISO 374-1:2016, EN ISO 374-5:2016, EN ISO 21420:2020, and Category III, and the glove is made under ISO 9001:2015 quality management. Manufacturing takes place in Malaysia, and ISO 14001 environmental management is also listed.
  • Materials and packing. The material is nitrile with no natural rubber latex, and the formulation is described as free of plasticizers, silicone, and pigments. Packing is 50 gloves per inner bag, two inner bags per master polybag, and ten master polybags per lined carton of 1,000 gloves. Because the glove is non-sterile, it controls particles rather than microorganisms, so pair it with a sterile glove where aseptic work is required.

Applications / Common Uses

  • Cleanroom cleaning and preparing. Ansell recommends the glove for this task, where the Class 100 (ISO 5) compatibility and low particle levels protect the room.
  • Blending and compounding. Ansell recommends the glove for blending and compounding solids and liquids, where the accelerator-free nitrile avoids a common skin-reaction trigger.
  • Transferring liquids and solids. Transferring liquids and solids is a listed use, and the 12 inch length covers the wrist during pouring and scooping.
  • Biotechnology and medical device manufacturing. Listed for both industries, where low ionic content and particles help protect sensitive products.
  • Electronics manufacturing. Also listed for electronics, where the low-ionic, silicone-free formulation limits residues on parts.

Storage, Handling & Shipping

The 93-311 is supplied non-sterile and for single use. Ansell lists a shelf life of five years and asks that the gloves be kept away from direct sunlight, stored in a dry place, and kept in the original packaging.

  • Keep gloves in their inner bags until use to protect cleanliness.
  • Use each glove once, then discard it.
  • Order by size: each SKU holds 1,000 gloves of one size.
  • Choose a sterile glove instead where a process requires sterile hand protection.

FAQs

How does the 93-311 differ from the 93-401?

Both are non-sterile, accelerator-free nitrile gloves. Ansell rates the 93-311 for Class 100 (ISO 5) and the 93-401 for Class 10 (ISO 4), and the 93-311 is held to a 2.5 AQL against 1.5 AQL for the 93-401. Choose the 93-401 for stricter rooms and the 93-311 where ISO 5 is enough.

What does Class 100 (ISO 5) mean for a glove?

ISO 5 allows at most 3,520 particles of 0.5 µm or larger per cubic meter of room air, and Class 100 is its older US name. A glove marked compatible has been made and packed for use there, but the room's filtration and gowning habits still decide the result.

What does Type B JKT mean on the EN ISO 374-1 listing?

Type B means the glove resisted at least three test chemicals for at least 30 minutes each. The letters J, K, and T stand for n-heptane, 40% sodium hydroxide, and 37% formaldehyde. Check your own chemicals before relying on this result.

What does free of plasticizers, silicone, and pigments mean for a glove?

Plasticizers are softening additives that can migrate out of some glove materials, silicone can interfere with coating and bonding, and pigments can transfer color. The 93-311's formulation is described as free of all three, which means fewer substances that could reach a surface during sensitive cleaning, blending, or assembly work.

What does ISO 14001 on the listing refer to?

ISO 14001 is an environmental management standard for the organization that makes the glove. It says nothing about glove strength, cleanliness, or chemical resistance, which are covered by the AQL, cleanroom class, and EN ISO 374 listings. It is listed beside ISO 9001:2015, the quality management standard.
