Have you considered autoclaving the keyboards in between users? Or maybe autoclave the users?
That'll work, right? -- Dr David C.

Hmm….everything made of cheap plastic….i.e. almost everything made in China…that must be the true conspiracy behind the virus!

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?
