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.
