  • Shamrock's exam gloves are regularly submitted to independent laboratories for testing to ensure the highest quality standard. These tests include:
    • Modified Lowry Test - the most common test for determining protein levels in latex gloves. However, the test is particularly vulnerable to interference from chemical substances added by manufacturers.
    • LEAP Method - ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent) assays that use antibodies to quantitate protein. Since this test uses antibodies, it is very sensitive and specific.
    • Viral Penetration Study - (adapted from ASTM F-1671) to evaluate the viral penetration resistance characteristics of protective clothing materials against bloodborne pathogen hazards. The bloodborne pathogens of major concern are the hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
