The Laboratory Coats category supports laboratories that need to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. The range spans routine bench requirements and more specialised applications where material choice, control and repeatability become especially important.
PPE and safety products must match the identified hazard, because general-purpose protection may be unsuitable for a specific chemical, exposure route or task. The practical choice therefore depends on protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
Risk assessment comes first, followed by selection of suitable engineering controls, PPE, emergency equipment, inspection routines and replacement intervals. The same principle applies across research, clinical, education, manufacturing, field and service laboratories: control the inputs, use compatible equipment and document the conditions that can influence the result. As part of the Laboratory Safety & PPE range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Coats range
Our collection covers chemical-resistant lab coats, benefits of 100% cotton lab coats, lab coats for women, and when to use a disposable visitor coat, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Chemical-resistant lab coats
Standard cotton and polypropylene lab coats provide basic splash protection. For high-risk chemical environments, laboratories should consider exploring the Coveralls or Aprons categories for advanced barrier properties. Key differences are usually found in protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
Benefits of 100% cotton lab coats
Cotton lab coats, like the LLG series, are highly breathable, comfortable for long-term wear, and generally offer better resistance to static build-up compared to many synthetic alternatives. Key differences are usually found in material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
Lab coats for women
While the models shown highlight men's sizing (44/46 to 54), we also stock unisex options like the Bierbaum-Proenen BP Med & Care series and can provide specific female-cut garments from manufacturers like Aug.Schwan upon request. For routine and specialised work, assess fit and coverage, inspection requirements, and replacement and storage. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
When to use a disposable visitor coat
Disposable coats from Unigloves or LLG are ideal for guests or temporary staff entering a facility, as they provide a hygienic barrier and prevent the cross-contamination of street clothes into the lab environment. When comparing options, consider inspection requirements, replacement and storage, and identified hazard. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these coats chemical-resistant?
Standard cotton and polypropylene lab coats provide basic splash protection. For high-risk chemical environments, laboratories should consider exploring the Coveralls or Aprons categories for advanced barrier properties. For lab coats, also check identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, and material compatibility so the product fits the complete procedure.
What are the benefits of 100% cotton lab coats?
Cotton lab coats, like the LLG series, are highly breathable, comfortable for long-term wear, and generally offer better resistance to static build-up compared to many synthetic alternatives. For lab coats, also check identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, and material compatibility so the product fits the complete procedure.
Do you offer lab coats for women?
While the models shown highlight men's sizing (44/46 to 54), we also stock unisex options like the Bierbaum-Proenen BP Med & Care series and can provide specific female-cut garments from manufacturers like Aug.Schwan upon request. Laboratories should compare identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, and material compatibility and document the selected setup for consistent use.
When should I use a disposable visitor coat?
Disposable coats from Unigloves or LLG are ideal for guests or temporary staff entering a facility, as they provide a hygienic barrier and prevent the cross-contamination of street clothes into the lab environment. The final choice should reflect identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, and material compatibility, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
Which specifications matter most when comparing lab coats?
Start with the application and sample, then compare identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage. Check compatibility with existing equipment and confirm any accessories, consumables, calibration items or replacement parts required for routine use. The final choice should reflect identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, and material compatibility, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
