The potential for cross contamination or infection from equipment in the workplace has never been greater. To help reduce this risk, Barloworld Scientific has launched BioCote® antimicrobial protection across it’s leading equipment brand Stuart®.

The complete Stuart® range of bench top laboratory equipment is now protected with BioCote®, a process applied during manufacturing that uses active agent silver to provide permanent effective antimicrobial protection. BioCote® will effectively 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 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. BioCote® antimicrobial protection is exclusively offered with the Stuart® range of bench top science equipment, at no extra cost. All Stuart® equipment will still be available at the same great value for money price as before.

Although the BioCote® process is invisible, every Stuart® product will display a “Protected by BioCote®” sticker to reassure you that it is feeling the benefit of antimicrobial protection.

Further details about BioCote® antimicrobial protection are available in the new Stuart catalogue or on the company website .
