Sterilizers

In March (Friday the 13th to be exact), Labmate announced a new product from Anachem. The MobiWatch MaxiBIO may not seem like a scary device, but it spells doom for microbes that have been safe until now. This infection control system uses a dry mist to fully penetrate even the most inaccessible areas and fully disinfect them. Anachem markets this equipment to labs and clinical facilities that require a high level of overall sterility. A single unit can treat an area as large as 500 cubic meters in one session. Since the MobiWatch is readily portable, it can be moved from one room to the next to treat an entire building.
