Ansell AccuTech® 91-225 Sterile Latex Cleanroom Gloves — Class 100 / ISO 5 (EU GMP Grade A/B) Aseptic Dexterity, Gamma-Irradiated and Cleanroom Packaged
Class 100 / ISO 5 Sterile (gamma irradiated) Natural rubber latex Hand-specific anatomic fit Textured fingers Powder-free (chlorinated interior) 12" length 200 pairs / case
Product overview
AccuTech® 91-225 is a sterile, Class 100 / ISO 5 cleanroom-compatible latex glove built for aseptic work where glove choice directly affects particulate control, operator dexterity and product-contact risk. Ansell positions 91-225 around a hand-specific ergonomic design (anatomic shape with straight fingers) paired with cleanroom packaging and an optimized thickness profile intended to balance protection with tactile sensitivity for critical manipulations.
Practical note for regulated aseptic operations: sterile gloves are typically treated as a primary contamination-control barrier. Your gowning program should define glove change frequency, double-gloving rules (where applicable), and defined “touch points” where a glove must be changed after contact with non-sterile surfaces.
Why customers choose AccuTech® 91-225
  • Sterile and cleanroom packaged for Class 100 / ISO 5 use, supporting contamination control discipline in critical zones and sterile transfer steps.
  • Hand-specific anatomic design with straight fingers to reduce bunching and help maintain fine motor control during aseptic manipulations.
  • Textured fingertips for confident grip on stainless, trays, vials, tubs, tools and barrier system interfaces where slips can trigger rework or interventions.
  • Powder-free and chlorinated interior to support clean donning and reduce the operational issues associated with powders in controlled environments.
  • Published suitability for double-gloving programs (as an outer glove or underglove), enabling risk-based gowning strategies where glove integrity and change-out triggers are formalized.
Latex sensitivity reminder: if your program has latex-allergy risk controls or mandates non-latex PPE, select a sterile nitrile or neoprene alternative and validate it to your process (grip, particulate, chemical compatibility and operator acceptance).
Recommended applications
  • Aseptic filling and labeling
  • Sample taking and processing in sterile workflows
  • Blending and compounding solids and liquids in controlled and critical environments
  • Transferring liquids and solids with defined sterile boundary controls
  • Critical component handling where tactile sensitivity and consistent grip reduce dropped parts and intervention risk
Aseptic technique tip: treat glove-to-surface contact as a managed variable. Use a defined “clean-to-less-clean” work sequence, avoid re-contacting cleaned surfaces with previously used fingertips, and standardize glove change-out after any suspected boundary breach.

Test method context (as published): particle metric references IEST-RP-CC005.4; dimensional/thickness references EN 420 / ASTM D3767; AQL references EN 455-1 / ASTM D3577. Always validate glove selection in your process (product contact risk, operator technique, surface interactions and any chemical exposure).
Cleanroom program guidance (U.S. first, global context second)
In U.S.-based regulated and critical manufacturing, sterile gloves are typically defined in the contamination control plan as a primary barrier and a primary “mix-up” / cross-contamination vector. Build glove selection, sizing, and use into your quality system: defined donning/doffing steps, defined glove-change triggers, point-of-use accountability, and documented training for aseptic technique. Many U.S. programs reference ISO 14644 terminology for cleanroom language and classification, while aligning sterile processing expectations to FDA guidance and internal risk-based controls.
As a secondary/global benchmark, EU GMP Annex 1 reinforces contamination control strategy (CCS) thinking: glove integrity, intervention control, material transfer discipline, and documentation that supports traceability and investigation readiness. Use Annex 1 as a continuous improvement lens where it fits your business, without treating it as a U.S. legal requirement.

Ansell TouchNTuff® 73-500 Sterile Neoprene Cleanroom Gloves — Class 100 / ISO 5, Accelerator-Free Chemical Splash Protection for Double-Donning
Class 100 / ISO 5 EU GMP Grade A Sterile (SAL 10-6) Neoprene (Polychloroprene) Latex-Free, Accelerator-Free AQL 0.65 200 Pairs / Case
1. Practical solutions in a critical environment

In ISO 5 workflows, gloves are both a barrier and a high-contact surface. TouchNTuff® 73-500 is selected when teams want a sterile, latex-free, chemical accelerator-free glove that supports both wet and dry tasks while maintaining dexterity for precise handling.

This platform is often used in double-donning models where the outer glove is treated as the active work layer and changed by defined triggers (task changes, touch-risk events, visible residue, or loss of grip). Neoprene’s chemical splash resistance and consistent feel help reduce rework and “workarounds” that create contamination risk.

2. What this glove is for
  • Aseptic and critical-zone work in Class 100 / ISO 5 (EU GMP Grade A) environments
  • Tasks involving disinfectants and cleaning solutions where chemical splash resistance is part of the hazard picture
  • Programs restricting natural rubber latex proteins and chemical accelerators (Type I / Type IV risk reduction)
  • Validated single- or double-donning strategies with defined sanitization and change-out triggers
3. Selection rationale
  • ISO 5 positioning: Designed for compatibility with Class 100 (ISO 5) / EU GMP Grade A cleanroom environments.
  • Low-allergy profile: Latex-free and chemical accelerator-free to support Type I and Type IV sensitivity reduction programs.
  • Neoprene barrier behavior: Excellent chemical splash resistance against a broad range of hazards for common wet-work task sets.
  • Thin design for control: Targeted thickness supports tactile sensitivity needed for precision handling and aseptic manipulations.
  • Leak control baseline: AQL 0.65 supports sterile decision sets where pinhole risk must be managed and monitored.
  • Cleanliness metrics: Particle baseline supports qualification files and operator technique training.
SOSCleanroom selection philosophy
SOSCleanroom supports customers who need dependable, best-in-class cleanroom consumables. In critical environments, we do not recommend “good enough” substitutes when process risk, product integrity, and compliance expectations are on the line.
4. Materials and construction
  • Material: Neoprene (Polychloroprene)
  • Color: Cream
  • Shape: Anatomic with curved fingers
  • Cuff: Beaded with SUREFIT™ Technology
  • External surface: Smooth
  • Internal surface: Polymer coated with DERMASHIELD™ Technology
  • Powder content: Powder-free
5. Specifications in context

In ISO 5 workflows, glove specifications translate into real controls: reliable gown-to-glove overlap, predictable response to alcohol sanitization, and reduced tear risk during repetitive manipulations. The values below are mapped to common operational outcomes and training points.

Specification Value Operational meaning
Cleanroom class Class 100 / ISO 5 & EU GMP Grade A Appropriate for aseptic/critical-zone task sets when packaging presentation and technique are controlled.
Sterility SAL 10-6 (Gamma irradiation, 25 kGy) Supports sterile workflow intent; maintain sterility by controlling wipe-down, staging, and opening practices.
Freedom from holes 0.65 AQL Leak-risk baseline; any suspected defect or touch-risk event becomes an immediate change-out trigger.
Length 300 mm / 12 in Supports gown-to-glove overlap to reduce exposed interface risk during reaching and rotations.
Thickness targets Palm 0.15 mm (5.90 mil) | Finger 0.16 mm (6.29 mil) | Cuff 0.14 mm (5.51 mil) Thin-wall design improves tactile control; enforce snag avoidance and change-out discipline.
Tensile (before aging) 17 MPa Durability indicator; supports controlled donning and reduces tear risk in repetitive handling cycles.
Force at break (before aging) 9 N Useful for platform comparison; technique and change-out triggers still dominate real outcomes.
Tested for chemotherapy drugs Yes (ASTM D6978) Supports hazardous-drug evaluation; validate drug list, concentration, contact time, and task mechanics before adoption.
Anti-static Not tested Do not assume ESD performance; use an ESD-qualified glove where required by your program.
Country of origin Sri Lanka Relevant for supplier qualification files and site documentation requirements.
Shelf life 5 years Use FEFO rotation; confirm lot/expiry at point-of-use per SOP.
6. Cleanliness metrics

ISO 5 programs often qualify gloves using a blend of background particle contribution and practical performance during opening, donning, and alcohol sanitization. Published cleanliness metrics support qualification files and help teams set realistic training expectations for handling and change-out.

Metric Value Method / reference
Typical particle count ≥ 0.5 µm ≤ 2500 counts/cm2 IEST-RP-CC005.4
Freedom from holes 0.65 AQL EN 455-1 / ASTM D3577

Cleanliness note: Many ISO 5 glove-related excursions come from technique (fast opening, cuff snapping, re-touching packaging surfaces) rather than glove selection. Standardize how gloves are staged, opened, and donned.

7. Packaging, sterility, and traceability
  • Case configuration: 1 pair per inner poly pack; 10 inner poly packs per inner polybag; 5 outer polybags per bag; 4 bags per master bag; 1 master bag of 200 pairs per carton/case
  • Sterilization method: Gamma irradiation (25 kGy)
  • Available sizes: 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0 (S), 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0
  • Shelf life: 5 years (store cool/dry; keep out of direct sunlight; keep away from ozone/ignition sources)
8. Best-practice use
Customer SOP disclaimer
This guidance is provided as a suggested starting point for customer SOP development and operator training. Every cleanroom and process is different. Customers must evaluate risk, validate procedures, and obtain appropriate QA/ES approval before implementation. Always follow your facility gowning and aseptic technique requirements and the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
  • Stage with intent: Treat glove packaging as a controlled transfer item. Define where it is wiped, how it enters ISO 5, and where it is opened.
  • Donning without particle events: Open packaging slowly, minimize re-gripping, and avoid cuff snapping. A calm sequence reduces particles and touch-risk.
  • Sanitization (facility-defined): If glove sanitization is part of your program, use sterile alcohol, define application volume, drying expectations, and reapplication triggers.
  • Double-donning: If used, define inner/outer glove roles and step-based change-out rules. The outer glove is typically treated as a consumable work layer.
  • Change-out triggers: Any tear/puncture, visible residue, tackiness, loss of grip, or contact with non-qualified surfaces is an immediate change-out event.
Suggested pairings: wipers, swabs, and solutions for sterile glove workflows
In ISO 5 work, glove performance is only part of the outcome. Consistency improves when teams standardize the “glove + wiping + detailing + solution” set so operators are not improvising at point-of-use.
Use case Recommended item Why it pairs well
ISO 5 critical wipe-downs (equipment, benches, transfer items) Texwipe TX3224 Sterile TexTra10™ 9" x 9" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper Sterile sealed-border polyester supports repeatable wipe patterns with low lint and controlled extractables.
Critical polishing / film-sensitive surfaces Texwipe TX3211 SterileWipe™ LP 9" x 9" Polyester Cleanroom Wiper Sterile continuous-filament polyester is commonly used where very low particle generation is a priority.
Detail cleaning (ports, fittings, interfaces, corners) Texwipe STX763 Sterile Gamma-Irradiated Polyester Swab Sterile swab supports controlled solvent cleaning in tight geometries where wipers cannot maintain contact.
Sterile IPA delivery (routine spray application) Texwipe TX8270 Sterile 70% Isopropanol Alcohol Solution (8 oz.) Sterile, ready-to-use spray format helps standardize application volume and pattern for routine sanitization steps.
Sterile IPA bulk use (high consumption points) Texwipe TX3290 Sterile 70% Isopropanol Alcohol Solution (1 Gallon, 4/Case) Bulk sterile IPA supports high-use points; align dispensing controls to avoid over-wetting and solvent-driven residue movement.
Guardrail: Confirm solution compatibility with your surfaces and your facility SOPs (wet-contact time, reapplication triggers, and glove change-out triggers).
9. Common failure modes
  • Over-wetting during sanitization: Excess alcohol can reduce grip and move residues. Control spray volume and define dry-time expectations.
  • “Long wear” beyond triggers: Neoprene durability can encourage extended use. Make change-out triggers explicit and non-negotiable.
  • Technique-driven particle events: Fast opening, cuff snapping, and repeated re-gripping of packaging drives avoidable particulate and touch-risk events.
  • Chemical assumptions: “Chemical splash resistance” is not universal. Validate against your disinfectants/solvents and task contact times.
  • Assuming ESD performance: Anti-static is listed as not tested; do not use where ESD control is required without an ESD-qualified alternative.
10. Other gloves to consider

These alternatives are commonly evaluated in sterile ISO 5 decision sets. Selection should be driven by allergy profile, tactile needs, and the intervention model defined in your facility procedures.

11. Program fit for regulated cleanrooms
  • Sterile ISO 5 operations: Strong fit where sterile presentation, controlled wipe-down, and disciplined change-out triggers are part of the contamination control strategy.
  • Low-allergy programs: Supports facilities restricting both latex proteins (Type I) and chemical accelerators (Type IV sensitivities).
  • USP <797> aseptic technique programs: Aligns to sterile handling expectations when integrated with facility training and validated sanitization/change rules.
  • Hazardous drug context (USP <800> planning): Chemotherapy-drug testing supports evaluation; validate drug list, contact time, and task mechanics before implementation.
