When operating in the field, especially in sensitive environments like forensic investigations, field research, and emergency hospitals, setting up a Monmouth Clean Tent ensures that your work remains compliant and free from contamination.
Whether collecting trace evidence, conducting field research, or working in a controlled environment away from the lab, having the correct equipment is crucial.
Here’s what you need to kit out a field-ready cleanroom setup. Please note, all these items are disposable.
Cleanroom clothing and PPE: head-to-toe protection
Start with the essentials for personnel entering the tent. The goal is to minimise contamination from hair, skin, and clothing.

Cleanroom Gloves – Hands are high-risk contamination points, so gloves are non-negotiable in field cleanroom setups.
When choosing between vinyl and nitrile gloves, vinyl gloves are ideal for general, low-risk tasks where budget and short-term use are priorities.
On the other hand, nitrile gloves are best for environments that require chemical and puncture resistance, as well as delicate handling, making them the preferred choice for higher-risk settings.
Vinyl Gloves – Ideal for general, low-risk tasks.
Offer excellent grip, tactile sensitivity and are latex-free, perfect for sensitive environments and personnel. Made from high-quality PVC, these ambidextrous gloves are cleanroom-packaged, ESD-safe, and offer low particle shedding. They are ideal for short-term forensic, pharmaceutical, and precision-critical environments.
Use Case: Essential for environmental sampling and testing, where gloves prevent contamination during soil, water, or air sample collection.
PRINCIPLE Nitrile Gloves – Offer enhanced grip and protection for delicate tasks, with a beaded cuff for extra security.
These nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) gloves are powder and latex-free, perfect for sensitive environments and personnel. They are ideal for environments including forensic labs and cleanrooms.
Use Case: Perfect for laboratory testing in the field, especially for biological research where delicate handling of samples is required.
