Silver ions stop benchtop bugs
To reduce the risk of cross contamination from equipment in the workplace, Barloworld Scientific has added BioCote antimicrobial protection to its Stuart brand equipment.
The range of benchtop laboratory equipment is now protected with BioCote, a process applied during manufacturing that uses silver to provide permanent, effective antimicrobial protection. BioCote will protect Stuart products against a wide range of bacteria and fungi for the useful life of the equipment.
Where manufacturing processes allow, the BioCote active ingredient is added to every possible external part of the equipment. Because the active silver ions are added during manufacture they are chemically bound within the material and won’t leach out or rub off.
