Hello all, I am fairly new to the list and wanted some advice on exam gloves and static charge. Latex can hold a static charge and transfer this to the utensil causing flaky substances to scatter during lab procedures such as weighing powders. Is there any advantage over this with nitrile or vinyl. Also, I was told that ethanol pretreat may help. Thanks, B.
