Cleanroom Professionals Attack Contamination Head-on: Unotron's Washable Computer Keyboards, Mice and Smart Card Readers Support Compliance and Optimal Environment.DALLAS -- To counter the concerns of cleanroom professionals that computer keyboards and other peripherals are contributing to rising infection rates, airborne contamination and possible product corruption, Unotron, Inc. confirms that its SpillSeal(R) patented technology allows its keyboards, mice and smart card readers to be repeatedly washed and disinfected Disinfected Decreased the number of microorganisms on or in an object. Mentioned in: Isolation . Cleanrooms - contamination-free environments where high-tech manufacturing and assembly take place - employ technology that is used in a wide range of industries including semiconductor assembly, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, aerospace, food, medical devices and hospitals. "Cleanrooms epitomize a work area in which the air quality, temperature and humidity are highly regulated in order to protect sensitive equipment from contamination," explains Joseph H.

Sunlight was the chief bleaching agent up to the discovery of chlorine in 1774 by Karl Wilhelm Scheele (b. 1742—d. , and alcohol-based products, without compromising the effectiveness or user-friendly touch and feel of the keyboards and mice." Cleanrooms are important features in the production of silicon chips, hard disk drives and other technologies such as satellites.

"In the miroprocessing industry, for example, the smallest speck of dust to a chip could ruin thousands of transistors and render them unusable," says Carabello, emphasizing the importance of Unotron's SpillSeal(R) technology to endure repeated cleansing without compromising functionality. "Moreover, this technology has significant impact upon pharmaceutical industry cleanrooms where overcoming the challenges of microbiological contamination are vital for safe drug manufacturing." Carabello asserts that Unotron's products minimize the potential threat of infection among multiple users and damage caused by contamination of products and highly sensitive technologies. The efficacy of Unotron's patented technology has been validated at multiple hospitals and laboratories with a 100 percent kill rate of all bacteria using disinfectant disinfectant, agent that destroys disease-causing microorganisms and their spores. Disinfectants, or germicides, are sometimes considered to be substances applied to inanimate bodies, whereas antiseptics, not so potent, are agents that kill microbes on living things. spray products.

"In the production-oriented cleanrooms for manufacturing electronics/semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other sensitive assembly, computer technology that meets NEMA NEMA National Electrical Manufacturers Association NEMA National Emergency Management Agency NEMA National Emergency Management Association NEMA Nottingham East Midlands Airport (UK) 4/IP 66 specifications, yet offers performance standards expected for daily use, is now regarded as essential."
