waterproof keyboards</a>. At a minimum you can also increase the availability of cleanroom wipes and 70% IPA to soak them in, encouraging users to wipe stations down before and after use. That should be safe for all peripherals, provided you can enter a state
where accidental input won’t cause issues (lock screens for windows platforms, maybe a recipe editor screen for integrated touchscreens). Hope that helps!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we all work towards safe re-openings of our labs, what solutions have been discovered for disinfecting live keyboards, mouse, touchscreens etc?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are being told it will be a requirement but we obviously can’t spray liquids directly on them and we can’t turn off these tools between uses to disconnect peripherals and reboot?<o:p></o:p></p>
