Kimberly-Clark Kimtech™ A8 Certified Disposable Lab Coat with Knit Cuffs & Knit Collar — 3-Layer SMS, 5-Snap Closure, 3 Reinforced Pockets, Mid-Calf Length (Case of 25)

Kimtech™ A8 Certified 3-Layer SMS Knit Cuffs + Knit Collar 5 Snaps 3 Reinforced Pockets Neck Loop Case of 25 White or Blue

Overview

Kimtech™ A8 Certified lab coats are designed for research laboratories and industrial environments where comfort, coverage, and contamination awareness matter at the operator interface. The coat body uses a 3-layer SMS nonwoven construction, and the knit cuffs and knit collar are built to stay comfortable and remain secure during repetitive tasks and long wear.

SOSCleanroom focuses on best-in-class contamination control brands. That includes Kimtech™ and Ansell—trusted lines that help customers standardize PPE, reduce process variability, and support audit-ready purchasing with consistent supply.

Why this lab coat matters in controlled work areas

Secure wrist interface: Knit cuffs help keep sleeves positioned and reduce sleeve ride-up during benchwork and transfers.
Comfort + coverage: Knit collar and mid-calf length provide practical coverage for common lab and production tasks.
Functional storage: Three reinforced pockets support tools, notebooks, and small components without constant re-handling.
Practical hang/storage control: Neck loop encourages consistent storage and reduces ad-hoc placement on uncontrolled surfaces.
Light fluid contact protection: Built for environments where incidental splashes may occur (verify your facility hazard assessment for chemical/biological needs).

Typical tasks supported

Research laboratories, sample prep, and routine analytical workflows
Industrial and production support areas (inspection, staging, light assembly)
Quality control documentation and controlled material handling
Visitor or maintenance wear where disposable garments reduce cross-area transfer risk

Note: Always confirm garment suitability (hazards, splash exposure, contamination requirements) against your facility SOPs and risk assessment.

Packaging and handling

Supplied as a case pack to support stocking consistency, shift changeovers, and standardized PPE issuance. Use clean, dry storage and keep cases sealed until distribution.

If you are controlling cross-area transfer, implement defined donning/doffing points and a discard policy aligned to your contamination control strategy.

EU GMP Annex 1 alignment notes (practical)

Annex 1 programs treat garments as part of the Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). For Grade A/B aseptic operations, facilities typically require cleanroom-validated sterile garments and validated gowning qualification. This A8 lab coat is most commonly used in lab and support workflows.

Gowning discipline: Don in the correct sequence and avoid touching exterior surfaces; confirm cuff/glove overlap.
Change triggers: Define discard rules (tears, splash events, task changes, leaving controlled areas).
Documentation: Standardize approved garment types/sizes and manage substitutions under change control.

Storage and lifecycle control

Store in original packaging in a clean, dry area to reduce pre-use contamination.
Use FIFO inventory practices and keep cases closed until issuance.
Discard after contamination events or when leaving controlled workflows, per SOP.

Garments — Kimtech™ A8 Lab Coat

Manufacturer-published attributes ISO-first context Annex 1 CCS mindset Donning / doffing discipline

The operator is one of the most common contamination vectors in any controlled workflow. This Technical Vault entry explains where a disposable lab coat fits, how to wear it to reduce transfer risk, and how to align PPE behavior with ISO cleanroom thinking and EU GMP Annex 1 contamination-control expectations.

Manufacturer snapshot (what this coat is)

Construction: 3-layer SMS nonwoven body with soft knit cuffs and knit collar for comfort and wrist stability.
Design features: Five snaps, three reinforced pockets, mid-calf length, and neck loop for hanging/storage control.
Use intent: Lab and industrial environments where controlled practices and light fluid contact protection are required.

ISO-first context (how to think about garments)

ISO 14644-1 defines cleanroom air cleanliness classes by airborne particle concentration. Even outside an ISO-classified cleanroom, you can apply the same discipline: reduce particle generation, reduce particle transfer, and control contact surfaces.

Garments are a boundary: Your coat is a barrier between street clothing and controlled work surfaces.
Wrist control matters: Knit cuffs help maintain a stable interface for glove overlap and reduce sleeve contact with benches.
Storage matters: Neck loop supports consistent hanging so the coat is less likely to contact uncontrolled surfaces.

EU GMP Annex 1 mindset (CCS lens)

Annex 1 emphasizes a Contamination Control Strategy (CCS). A CCS is not just product selection—it is behavior, training, change triggers, and documentation. If your process is aseptic/sterile, ensure your gowning system (including sterile garments) is validated for the classified grade.

Defined donning points: Put coats on in designated areas to reduce cross-area transfer.
Defined discard rules: Tear/snag, splash events, leaving a controlled workflow, or any suspected contamination event.
Trend mindset: If you see repeated sleeve/bench contact or frequent glove breaches, improve training and workstation layout.

Donning and doffing guidance (to minimize transfer)

Donning: Perform hand hygiene, don hair cover (if required), then coat. Keep the exterior from contacting benches, carts, or clothing.
Close fully: Fasten snaps to maintain coverage and reduce garment flapping (which can increase particle shedding and transfer).
Glove interface: Pull knit cuffs flat; ensure gloves overlap the cuff to reduce exposed wrist/forearm contact risk.
Pocket discipline: Pockets are convenient, but they can become reservoirs. Store only controlled items and avoid retrieving items over open product/work.
Doffing: Remove by rolling the contaminated exterior inward. Dispose per SOP. Perform hand hygiene immediately after.
