Handling microformats
Please use nitrile (not cotton) gloves to handle all microformats. Try to handle only the edges.
When the contents of a box of nitrile gloves has deteriorated, discard and replace the box. In general, when gloves look normal, can be stretched without surface cracks, and can be pulled onto the hand without breaking or tearing, they probably will provide the level of protection they were designed to provide. Gloves that have deteriorated during storage will have definite signs of deterioration. They will tear easily when stressed and will develop a hard surface that cracks when stretched. The inside of powder-free gloves that do not have a separate donning layer may change from a tough polymer to a gooey substance.
