Glove print

A personnel monitoring sample taken by pressing all five fingertips of a gloved hand onto an agar contact plate or 90 mm plate. Glove prints are taken after critical interventions and when operators leave the aseptic area, and they show how well operators keep their gloves free of contamination. Under EU GMP Annex 1, the limit is no growth in Grade A and 5 CFU per glove in Grade B. Gloves are changed after sampling.
