Freezer Gloves

Freezer gloves are designed for extreme low-temperature environments. They use multi-layer composite materials and aerogel technology, combining heat insulation and cold protection with flexibility. They are suitable for liquid nitrogen operations, frozen storage and biological sample processing, and are suitable for laboratory, medical and industrial scenarios.

Feature of Freezer Gloves

Super strong thermal insulation performance: multi-layer composite material design ensures that hands will not be frostbitten in extremely low temperatures such as liquid nitrogen.
Soft and flexible: special lining makes the operation precise and flexible, meeting the grip requirements of consumables such as test tubes and cryopreservation tube.
Splash-proof: waterproof and oil-proof surface design to prevent liquid condensation penetration.
Optional length: short, medium and long (over the elbow) are available to meet different operating needs.
Comfortable and breathable: the lining is made of skin-friendly material, which is not stuffy or humid even if worn for a long time.

Typical application scenarios

FAQ of Cryo Gloves

Why is liquid nitrogen gloves needed in cryo storage?

Cryogen safety gloves are essential for cryo storage experiments to protect personnel from the extreme cold and prevent severe frostbite. Here are the main reasons:

Prevention of Frostbite
Liquid nitrogen has a temperature as low as -196°C, and dry ice is around -78°C. Without cryogenic gloves, contact with these materials can quickly freeze skin, causing severe frostbite, similar to burns, and may lead to permanent tissue damage.
Thermal Insulation
Made with multiple layers of insulating material that effectively block cold transfer, keeping hands safe even during brief contact with extremely cold objects.
Operational Flexibility
In addition to providing protection, cryogenic gloves maintain flexibility, allowing users to handle equipment or samples with precision, ensuring that the experiment is not compromised.
Protection Against Chemical Exposure and Leaks
Dry ice gloves often have waterproof and chemical-resistant outer layers to prevent liquids like liquid nitrogen from penetrating and causing harm, ensuring the wearer’s safety.
In summary, it is a vital safety tool in cryo storage experiments, protecting against frostbite while ensuring safe and efficient handling of extremely cold materials.

What will happen if liquid nitrogen is sprayed on your hand without wearing tempshield cryo gloves?

Leidenfrost Effect
When liquid nitrogen briefly touches the skin, the extreme temperature difference creates a thin layer of gas that temporarily protects the skin from direct contact. This is known as the Leidenfrost effect. If the contact is very brief (a few seconds), the liquid nitrogen may quickly evaporate, and the skin won’t immediately be harmed.
Severe Frostbite
If the contact lasts longer than a few seconds, the gas layer disappears, and the skin is directly exposed to the extreme cold (-196°C). This can cause rapid frostbite. Liquid nitrogen can freeze the skin and underlying tissues quickly, leading to damage similar to burns, with symptoms like blisters, peeling, and even permanent tissue damage in severe cases.
Potential Danger
Even with the Leidenfrost effect, direct contact with liquid nitrogen is highly dangerous. If a large amount of liquid nitrogen splashes or stays on the skin, the risk of frostbite increases significantly, especially if the liquid nitrogen is not evaporating fast enough or is trapped in gloves or clothing.
To avoid these risks, it’s essential to wear specialized negative temperature gloves and other protective gear (like goggles and aprons) when handling liquid nitrogen, ensuring a safe working environment.

When using cryogen gloves, can your hands still be flexible?

High-quality tempshield gloves on the market use a flexible lining design, which can maintain good finger flexibility even in a -80℃ environment, and can perform delicate operations such as screwing caps on cryopreservation tubes and carrying reagent bottles.
