Specialised powder coating of steel and wooden surfaces incorporates an active agent which inhibits the growth of food pathogens and micro-organisms
Autoclaves manufactured by Priorclave offer the highest level of protection against bacterial growth and infection.
This not only includes their internal pressure vessels which have the capacity to eradicate bacteria, but their external surfaces including coated steelwork and handles also now provide a 24 hour, 365 day first line of defence against contamination and cross infection. Autoclaves are used extensively within hospitals, food and pharmaceutical laboratories, the veterinary trade and for many research projects.
The need for effective infection control is gaining high priority and the level of protection offered by Priorclave products is uniquely comprehensive, following a surface treatment process which is only available on their range of steriliser products.
This degree of protection has been achieved following an adoption of the advanced surface hygiene provided by the proprietary BioCote process.
This process, which is patent protected, is available solely through BioCote and includes a specialised powder coating of steel and wooden surfaces.
These coated surfaces incorporate an active agent which inhibits the growth of food pathogens and micro-organisms, including the antibiotic-resistant MRSA.
It does not operate in the same way as an antibiotic, so the potential for generating resistant strains of organisms is greatly reduced if not eliminated.
This ensures that the highest safety levels are maintained, with the potential for spreading contamination and infection through manual contact being minimised.
BioCote surfaces still require cleaning and should not be considered either as a replacement or alternative to good hygiene practices. However, they provide the optimum level of due diligence currently available against the proliferation of disease-causing bacteria in a wide range of areas where there is potential for growth.
This ensures that standards are not breached in clean rooms or sterilised areas, which can lead to expensive delays or the interruption of important research or critical culture programmes.
