  • Disposable nitrile gloves are provided in all the labs. If you require a special type of glove for your preparation please contact the Lab Support Team​ in advance of arriving at site.

  • Lab coats are available if you require one. Please wear a lab coat if your risk assessment identifies a need for it.
