Overview

The Kimtech™ A8 Zipper Lab Coat (SKU 51933, Large) is a cleanroom-handled, non-sterile protective lab coat engineered for controlled workflows where comfort, coverage, and consistent garment control are required and there is the potential for light fluid contact. It features protective 3-layer SMS (spunbond/meltblown/spunbond) fabric, a high mandarin collar, soft knit cuffs, a zipper closure (zipper tab on the right side), and a no-pocket design to reduce traps and snag points.

SOSCleanroom stocks best-in-class contamination-control PPE and supports customers who want to standardize with leading manufacturer programs. Kimtech™ is part of the Ansell portfolio, and SOSCleanroom maintains a close relationship with Ansell to help customers align PPE selection with documentation, supply planning, and audit-ready change control.

Why this lab coat matters in controlled environments
  • Barrier + breathability balance: 3-layer SMS is recommended where there is potential for light fluid contact while maintaining wearer comfort.
  • Improved interface coverage: High mandarin collar and knit cuffs help stabilize coverage at the neck and wrist boundaries.
  • Streamlined closure control: Zipper closure supports consistent closure and faster changes in support areas.
  • ESD-aware workflows: Product fabric is stated to meet EN 1149-5 anti-static requirements.
  • Material discipline: Not made with natural rubber latex; not made with BHT preservative; and manufacturing process is stated not to introduce silicone.
  • Cleanroom handling: Double-bagged packaging supports staged transfer and controlled opening per SOP.
Typical tasks supported
  • Material staging, labeling, and packaging in controlled support spaces
  • General laboratory operations where garment control and coverage are required
  • Low-exposure splash-prone steps (per facility risk assessment) where Type 6 limited splash is appropriate
  • Non-sterile preparation and support workflows (program-dependent)
  • Visitor, maintenance, and support entry where rapid changeover helps control traffic and cross-contamination

Program note: Kimtech™ literature positions A8 as non-sterile cleanroom apparel commonly used in bioburden control and support areas (program-dependent). Validate garment selection within your facility risk assessment and CCS/SOPs.

Packaging and handling (clean transfer)

Each garment is stated to be double-bagged to support controlled staging. Best practice is to remove the outer bag in the designated ante area, then stage the inner bag into the controlled zone per SOP to reduce packaging-borne contamination transfer.

Case unit: 25 lab coats (SKU 51933, Large).

EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (practical)

Annex 1 programs treat garments as part of the facility Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). A8 lab coats are typically positioned in non-sterile / support contexts (e.g., Grade C/D support and material handling), while aseptic core zones often require sterile, validated gown systems.

  • Define where it’s allowed: Map this coat to room grades/ISO areas in your CCS and gowning SOP.
  • Glove overlap control: Knit cuffs should sit under the glove cuff; use your approved cuff-sealing method if required by SOP.
  • Change triggers: Replace after any splash event, tear/snags, or when exiting the controlled workflow.
  • Substitution control: Control garment substitutions through change management to prevent process drift.
Storage and lifecycle control
  • Store in original packaging in a clean, dry location to preserve packaging integrity.
  • Stage per SOP: outer-bag removal before entry; inner bag opened only inside the appropriate controlled zone.
  • If packaging integrity is compromised, quarantine and replace per your quality system.
Standards and references (where applicable)
  • EN 13034 Type 6 (limited chemical splash) — as stated in published product details
  • EN 1149-5 (anti-static) — as stated in published product details
  • ISO 14644 cleanroom context and EU GMP Annex 1 gowning expectations should be implemented through your CCS and SOPs

Garment Control Donning Discipline ISO-First Guidance Annex 1 CCS Thinking A8 Non-Sterile Context
Where the Kimtech™ A8 Zipper Lab Coat fits (ISO-first)

ISO-controlled environments treat garments as a primary control because people are a major contamination source. Kimtech™ literature positions A8 as non-sterile cleanroom apparel commonly used for material staging, labeling/packaging, and laboratory support (program-dependent). In practice, this style is frequently used in lower-classified support spaces where you still want disciplined garment control and low-shedding performance.

Selection rule: The garment must match the room classification, the task risk, and your SOP. If your process is aseptic at the point of exposure, validate whether a sterile, validated gown system is required instead of non-sterile lab coats.

Donning guidance (to minimize contamination transfer)
  1. Stage the packaging correctly: remove the outer bag in the ante area; bring only the inner bag into the controlled zone per SOP.
  2. Hand hygiene first: wash/sanitize per SOP before touching the garment or zipper.
  3. Control contact points: handle interior surfaces as much as possible; avoid brushing the coat against benches or carts.
  4. Collar + zipper discipline: seat the mandarin collar smoothly and zip fully to reduce gaps at the chest/neck boundary.
  5. Wrist interface control: knit cuffs must remain under the glove cuff; avoid rolling cuffs back (this increases shedding and exposes skin).
  6. Change triggers: replace immediately after any splash exposure, tear/snags, zipper failure, or contact with non-controlled surfaces.
EU GMP Annex 1 alignment (CCS-style controls)
  • Zoning discipline: define where non-sterile lab coats are allowed (room grade + task list) in your CCS.
  • Glove interface policy: document glove overlap requirements, and if cuff sealing is used, standardize the tape + technique to avoid wicking under cuffs.
  • Behavioral controls: reduce garment touches to non-controlled surfaces; re-train around zipper handling and collar adjustments.
  • Change management: lock garment SKUs (e.g., 51933 Large) and substitutions under change control to prevent process drift.
