New keyboards can be cleaned with single wipe

Man and Machine has launched a new generation of hygienic silicon keyboards which can be cleaned with a single wipe. Designed for use in healthcare settings, The Really Cool Low Profile brand can be disinfected and meets all the requirements for electrical safety relating to medical use. "We are always looking to push out the boundaries of what is possible in making keyboards easily and thoroughly cleanable without sacrificing their usability", said company spokesman, Geraldien de Louwere Schasfoort. "You have to be able to work comfortably with them"

  5. Virucidal testing of cleanroom disinfectants In “normal” times, with the exception of live vaccine manufacturers, control of viruses in cleanrooms is not usually the highest priority within contamination control. Viruses need a host to survive, as they are obligate parasites, just nucleic acid surrounded by a protein that can only replicate within a host cell, so their ability to survive on hard, dry surfaces is minimal. Contec’s Neil Simpson explains
