off.

Can you see BioCote®?

though you can’t see BioCote® , the Protected by BioCote® sticker
on every Stuart® product will reassure you that your Stuart®
product has long term microbial protection.
Is the addition of BioCote® audited?
As part of our partnership with BioCote® Stuart® products have
undergone a rigorous validation process. This ensures that
all products work effectively as an anti-microbial and that the
bespoke additive solution is suitable. This is then supported
with an ongoing Quality Control system offering certification
for antimicrobial efficacy. All validation and Quality Control is
carried out by an independent accredited laboratory.
