RE: [labmanagers] Safe Handling of NMR tubes

Below is a response from the NMR lab supervisor at Air Products.

I assume the breakage has occurred while attempting to remove an NMR tube which was stuck in a spinner.  We handle this situation the same way you deal with a glass tube in a stopper:  wear wizard gloves under appropriate chemical resistant gloves, grasp the tube close to the spinner and use a twisting motion to gradually pull (not push) it out.  If the tube is not stuck, we don't generally wear the wizard gloves, but we still are careful to grasp the tube close to the spinner and avoid forcing it.

Subject: [labmanagers] Safe Handling of NMR tubes

Since we have had a few cases of people breaking NMR tubes and cutting themselves while removing the tubes from the magnets, I’m wondering if anyone has implemented the use of a particular type of gloves or a particular handling device to avoid this problem?
