What is BioCote\u00ae<\/sup> coating?<\/h2>\n

BioCote is a unique additive used in a wide range of finishes during the manufacturing process. The Cole-Parmer\u00ae Stuart\u2122 Undergrad hot plates and stirring hot plates<\/a> are protected with BioCote\u2019s active agent silver<\/a> to provide long-term effective antimicrobial protection.<\/p>\n

Why is this beneficial to you?<\/h2>\n

Here are 5 reasons:<\/p>\n

1<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Share cleaner instruments<\/h3>\n

BioCote provides you with a cleaner instrument. When you use a cleaner product, you transfer less microbes.<\/p>\n

2<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 Protect your product from harboring bacteria and fungus<\/h3>\n

BioCote effectively protects against a wide range of bacteria and fungi such as Aspergillus niger (black mold), Steptococcus faecalis, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes for the useful life of the equipment. BioCote is also effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including MRSA.<\/span><\/p>\n

3<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 Easier to keep your instruments hygienically clean<\/h3>\n

BioCote antimicrobial technology protects products, around-the-clock, from these unseen dangers, actively reducing the presence of microbes such as bacteria, mold and viruses on a surface to create a permanently hygienic hot plate that is ultimately safer to use.<\/p>\n

4<\/span>\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0 Provides you with long-term microbial protection<\/h3>\n

Even though you can\u2019t see the BioCote coating, the \u201cProtected by BioCote\u201d sticker on every Cole-Parmer Stuart product will reassure you that the product has long-term microbial protection. It will last for your product\u2019s lifetime and ultimately extending the lifetime of your product by minimizing material degradation due to microbial colonization.<\/p>\n

5<\/span>\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0 Keeps you safe from leachable additives<\/h3>\n

Wherever manufacturing processes allow, the BioCote active ingredient is added to every possible external part of a piece of the instrument. Because the active silver ions are added during manufacture, they are chemically bound within the material and won\u2019t leach out, rub off, or wear off.<\/p>\n

Note: According to BioCote\u2019s website, the BioCote\u00ae technology does not protect you against disease-causing bacteria, germs, viruses or other harmful organisms. This technology is not a substitute for good hygiene and\/or cleaning practices. BioCote\u00ae has not been tested or proven effective against SARS-CoV-2.<\/p>\n
