Cleanroom keyboard keeps bacteria at bay

Laboratory instruments aren’t the only devices and surfaces that can play host to contaminants. The third generation of Bytec Medical’s Medi-Key (MK3) waterproof keyboard features sleek contours and an improved tactile feel. It is fortified with a silver-ion antibacterial agent, which acts as a secondary defence against cross-contamination of harmful bacterial such as MRSA and E.coli. The keyboard can be cleaned under running water and is suitable for use with hospital-grade disinfectants, and can be programmed to alert users to clean the keyboard at regular intervals. During disinfect mode, the keys and touchpad are disabled. Bytec Medical
