Important Notice to Valued Customers
Due to the increased media focus on recent threats of Anthrax, we are receiving inquiries regarding the use of Sempermed gloves as a barrier against the Anthrax organism. In response, we have located an official statement produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The publication entitled 'Basic Laboratory Protocols for the Presumptive Identification of Bacillus Anthracis' contains the following statement regarding handling of Anthrax or related biological materials:
'As for any procedure involving infectious materials, standard personal protective gear should be used, such as latex gloves and laboratory coats, or disposable over garments.'
The CDC has posted general information regarding Anthrax. It can be seen by clicking on the following link:

Finally, there is much concern over the handling of potentially infected mail or suspicious packages. The CDC has also issued an official Health Advisory, entitled 'How to Handle Anthrax and Other Biological Agent Threats'. It can be seen by clicking on the following link:
