BioCote Antimicrobial Protection

Comark has improved the technology of its products by adding BioCote antimicrobial to its top selling temperature measurement instruments, including the C20 Series electronic thermometers and EVt transport loggers to protect the product surfaces from microbial degradation or deterioration.

Use these Comark instruments to check and monitor safe temperatures for food and other temperature sensitive materials throughout manufacture and the supply chain, in the knowledge that the instruments and probes themselves contribute to protecting the product surfaces from degradation or deterioration by micro-organisms.

Comark chose BioCote because -

• BioCote Ltd has a rigorous validation and quality control programme with all testing conducted by independent laboratories to ensure the anti-microbial performance of all products
• BioCote active ingredients are registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

How BioCote Works

The silver based BioCote antimicrobial releases silver ions from the surface of any material that has been coated or impregnated with it. The silver ions cause functions in the bacteria to break down, stopping their reproduction and therefore inhibiting microbial growth.

Comark impregnates the BioCote antimicrobial into the plastic used for instrument cases and other components during the moulding process and applies it to surfaces of labels and keypads. The agent lasts for the expected life of the instrument, protecting the surfaces from microbial degradation or deterioration.

According to EPA guidelines BioCote Ltd cannot claim that BioCote technology protects users or others against bateria, viruses, germs or other disease organisms. Always clean and wash products thoroughly.
