BioCote® effectively inhibits the function, growth and reproduction of a wide range of micro-organisms and its protection is increasingly accepted as part of HACCP, due diligence and health and safety procedures to reduce cross contamination. BioCote protection lasts for the life of the instrument, because the agent is present throughout the case plastic and cannot rub off or be washed or leached out. BioCote active ingredients are registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Although BioCote inhibits the growth of micro-organisms on the instrument case, it does not protect individuals against such harmful organisms or remove the need to maintain the highest standards of personal and product hygiene and cleanliness.
