BioCote ®

• Anti-microbial protection

• Trace levels of Silver encapsulated in the product

• Helps to interrupts the cell's ability to function

• Remains active for the life of the product

• Active against all common bacteria and fungi

• Applied to all the following Stuart® equipment external components:
Metal work : in the paint
Plastic moldings : in the color
Fascia : in the lacquer

The potential for cross contamination or infection from equipment in the workplace has never been greater. To help combat this risk, the complete Stuart® range of bench top laboratory equipment is now protected with BioCote,® a unique additive applied during the manufacturing process, utilizing active agent silver to aid in long-term effective antimicrobial protection. BioCote® helps to effectively protect your Stuart® product against a wide range of bacteria and fungi such as Aspergillus niger (Black Mould), Steptococcus faecalis, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes for the useful life of the equipment. BioCote is also effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including MRSA.
Where manufacturing processes allow, the BioCote active ingredient is added to every possible external part of a piece of Stuart® 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.
The BioCote finish helps to inhibit the ability of the bacteria to reproduce. Without the ability to reproduce bacteria will naturally die, normally within 8 hours. This has the possibility of reducing the levels of the bacteria by up to 99% during an 8 hour period. On a non-BioCote protected product the levels of bacteria could potentially grow exponentially.
