does powder free of nitrile gloves lead to high zinc counts in ICP-MS?

Hi Di Xu,

indeed, powder free nitrile gloves could contain a lot of zinc.

If you want to be sure, put a glove in 1% HNO3 and run a fullscan to see what (and how much) contaminations do they emmit.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. 

we would not use powder-free nitrile gloves when we test Zinc. Instead, we use polyethylene gloves.
