Reduce the Spread of Bacteria with an Antimicrobial Barcode Scanner

Another way to help protect frontline workers (healthcare workers, cashiers, etc.) is by utilizing tools that are specifically designed to defend against infectious bacteria. A scanner serves as a frequent medium between people, by utilizing an antimicrobial solution and implementing cleaning protocols, the risk of spreading germs through the scanning process is reduced.

Opticon’s Antimicrobial barcode readers are easily distinguished by their white housings. This white plastic is embedded with silver ions that prevent the growth of bacteria. The oligodynamic effect of silver damages key enzymes in the cell membranes of pathogens, killing them and slowing the spread of infections.
