Temperature instruments are anti-microbial

Published: 18-Nov-2004


Comark now offers selected electronic thermometers and data loggers with a special BioCote anti-microbial agent.

The agent has been impregnated into the plastic used for instrument cases and selected probe handles during the moulding process and has also been applied to the surfaces of labels and keypads. It cannot be rubbed off, or washed or leached out, and is effective for the life of the product. The anti-microbial protection works through the release of silver ions from the surface of the treated material. Those ions that are near or at the surface are absorbed by micro-organisms and interrupt their critical functions, including reproduction.
