Overview

QRP Qualatrile® 9C finger cots are a cleanroom-packaged, static dissipative nitrile option designed for precision handling where you need fingertip coverage without the bulk of a full glove. They are intended for ESD-sensitive manufacturing and inspection tasks in ISO-controlled environments.

SOSCleanroom stocks best-in-class contamination-control consumables so teams can standardize inputs, reduce substitution risk, and improve process consistency across shifts and sites.


Why this product matters in controlled environments
  • ESD control at the touch point: published average surface resistance of 5 x 109 Ω/□ and ESD program alignment claims support controlled handling of static-sensitive devices.
  • ISO 5 packaging for cleaner staging: supports cleaner dispensing and point-of-use control versus general-purpose finger cots.
  • Latex-free nitrile: a practical pathway for programs minimizing latex exposure and latex-protein concerns.
  • Powder-free: helps reduce residue and particle transfer risk at the product interface.
  • Fast identification and dispensing: stand-up pouch presentation helps reduce handling errors and supports workstation organization.

Typical tasks supported (published examples)
  • ESD-sensitive assembly areas and repair stations
  • Electronics handling (IC industries, wire bonding workflows)
  • Defense, avionics, and controlled manufacturing support
  • Inspection, rework, and micro-assembly where fingertip control matters

For industrial use only. If your process requires full-hand chemical protection, sterile barrier systems, or validated aseptic glove controls, select PPE per your EHS and quality requirements.


Packaging and handling (controlled dispensing)

The 9C series is supplied in a labeled, stand-up pouch format intended to support fast identification and cleaner dispensing at the workstation. Maintain packaging integrity until the point of use and dispense with clean technique to protect ISO 5-packaged contents.

For higher-volume programs, case-level packaging is published as 14,400 finger cots per case (case contents may be sold under a separate SOSCleanroom SKU).


EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (practical)

Annex 1 programs control the operator interface through a documented Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). Finger cots are generally selected for precision handling and ESD control (not as a sterile glove substitute).

  • Use-case clarity: confirm whether the operation is aseptic/sterile versus ESD/particle-sensitive. Choose PPE accordingly.
  • Not a sterile barrier system: for Grade A/B aseptic operations, follow CCS/SOPs for sterile glove/gowning systems, disinfection, and change controls.
  • Change triggers: define tear/snag, uncontrolled contact, task breaks, and time-based changes; train for fast, controlled replacement.

Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store in a cool, dry location in original packaging and protect from sunlight/UV exposure.
  • Keep away from ozone sources and harsh chemicals/solvents that can degrade elastomers.
  • Use FIFO and maintain lot traceability aligned to your ESD and quality program requirements.

Quick take

Finger cots are a precision control: they reduce skin oils/salts transfer while preserving dexterity. In ESD-sensitive work, the goal is to control electrostatic events without adding bulk that increases accidental contact or handling damage.


When a finger cot is the right control (vs. a full glove)
  • Best fit: micro-assembly, inspection, rework, and handling tasks where only the fingertips contact the product.
  • ESD workflows: where controlling electrostatic discharge is part of the quality plan (program-level ESD controls still apply).
  • Not appropriate: when hazards require full-hand protection (chemical, powder, biological, sharps, or validated sterile barrier systems).

ESD basics (why the numbers matter)
  • ESD damage can be invisible: components may pass initial checks but fail later due to latent ESD damage.
  • Static dissipative behavior helps: published resistance targets support controlled dissipation rather than uncontrolled discharge events.
  • Program control matters: finger cots are one control inside a broader ESD Control Program (grounding, surfaces, tools, ionization, training, audits).

Donning discipline (reduce particles, tears, and recontamination)
  1. Start clean: wash and dry hands per SOP; do not don onto wet skin.
  2. Size correctly: undersized cots increase tearing; oversized cots reduce control and snag more easily.
  3. Roll, don, release: roll down smoothly from the cuff without overstretching the tip.
  4. Touch discipline: avoid packaging exteriors, benches, and non-controlled surfaces. Replace after uncontrolled contact.
  5. Change triggers: tears/snags, loss of fit, contamination, task breaks, or time-based intervals defined by SOP.

ISO-first, then Annex 1: how to place finger cots in GMP thinking

ISO programs often deploy finger cots for precision handling and contamination reduction at the point of touch. Annex 1 environments go further: PPE selection and behavior are controlled through a formal CCS and validated gowning practices.

  • Do not replace sterile gloves: finger cots are generally not a sterile barrier system for Grade A/B aseptic operations.
  • Control substitutions: changes in material, packaging, or supplier should be managed under change control to prevent process drift.
  • Training is the control: most failures are behavioral (touching non-controlled surfaces, poor change discipline, poor staging technique).

Build a stronger touch-point control system (recommended pairings)
  • ESD-safe micro-cleaning: keep ESD-safe pick swabs available for component recovery and precision cleaning.
  • Cleanroom wipers: wipe tools and workstation touchpoints per SOP to reduce recontamination.
  • Full-hand coverage when required: if the hazard requires it, move to cleanroom nitrile gloves (and maintain ESD program grounding/controls).
