If you are going that route, it would make sense to locate the UV lamps
in the X-ray hutch, since those already have safety interlocks, etc. The
X-ray beam itself is too directional to uniformly cover much.

Hi Tim,
It may be convenient to install a UV light lamp in the room. Have you
thought about that?
I do not know if any of the equipment may suffer damage in the medium
or long term due to the incidence of UV light. You must evaluate this.
UV light is used in different microbiology laboratories around the
world to sterilize the work area.
Just turn on the UV light about ten min before entering the room, then
turn off the UV light, and wait another 15 min to enter. When leaving,
turn on the UV light for 10 min, and then turn off.
The UV light on/off switch should be located outside the room.
Best,
Eduardo.

Dear all,
can you make suggestions for how to disinfect computer keyboards, and
instrument panels?
Our facility is going to reboot next week, with shifts so that people
don't meet. The main interface will be the computer keyboards, as well
as the door of our X-ray diffractometer and the mounting of the
crystals.
The keyboard labels may not like alcohols (and the efficiency of
injecting disinfecting through the USB cable is also under discussion,
so I heard).
One way would be to use individual keyboards, and wearing gloves for
replugging, and to use gloves for mounting crystals.
But maybe there are other ways that won't require gloves?
Best regards,
Tim
