Some microbes, especially bacteria, present a high contamination risk as they can result in the spread of disease. In recent years, demand has increased considerably for products that help control the risk of bacterial contamination. This is especially true in areas where high standards of hygiene and cleanliness are both a requirement and a responsibility.
These include:
Medical establishments, e.g. hospitals and laboratories
Care centers for children or the elderly
Domestic animal, e.g. poultry, farms
Food processing plants
Catering establishments, e.g. restaurants
Fresh food storage and display equipment in markets
Appliances, e.g. refrigerators, freezers and dishwashers
