Tools and equipment in a laboratory or healthcare setting should be disinfected daily or more frequently to prevent infection and maintain hygiene.
The frequency of disinfection for tools and equipment can vary based on the specific environment and use. However, in the context of a laboratory or healthcare setting where equipment comes into contact with biological specimens or potentially infectious materials, tools and equipment should be disinfected on a daily basis, or even more frequently if they are used multiple times throughout the day.
This is to prevent the spread of infection and to maintain a sterile environment. The surfaces in such settings may also be wiped down with 70% ethanol or a comparable disinfectant to maintain cleanliness and reduce the risk of contamination. In conclusion, to maintain a high standard of hygiene and safety, daily or more frequent disinfection is recommended.
