You can get these floor mats from anyone who sells materials for cleanrooms.
For example, VWR sells them (search at their website under tacky floor
mats). They even have little numbers in the corner to tell you how many
sheets of the mat you have remaining! Each mat will probably last a day or
two, depending on how much traffic you get, and it's a good idea to make the
mat big enough that people have to put both feet down on it (i.e., put down
two mats if you have to).

Hello everyone,
We are preparing to bring to two wide bore NMR spectrometers (300 and 500
MHz) to life in a recently renovated room. The floor has been carpeted. It
seems that it would be a good idea to have some sort of entry mat to
capture any foreign material (particularly metallic) that may be tracked
into the room. I have been told that some labs use some sort of sticky mat
at the entrances. I have not seen these, but apparently they consist of
layers of sticky material - when the top layer is too dirty, it is stripped
away and disposed. Does anyone have any experience with these (or with
other methods of trapping foreign materials)? I would appreciate any
advice, including suppliers, etc. Thanks.
Regards,
