A special silver-based material, using BioCote¢ç silver anti-microbial technology, is embedded into the plastics used to create the platens on the biometric hand geometry units, providing a hygienic finish that resists bacterial degradation and reduces bacteria levels on the reader¡¯s surface.
¡°This high-tech material reduces a concern of some people when it comes to using hand geometry biometrics,¡± reports Jon Mooney, general manager of the biometrics unit for Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies. ¡°Our hand readers are now specifically designed with bacteria reduction in mind.¡±
BioCote Limited, the market leader in the field of anti-microbial technology, developed the antimicrobial technology used in the handreaders. The active agents in BioCote¢ç products are incorporated during the manufacturing process and remain active for the life of the biometric reader to protect it from degradation.
