Which of the following best explains how an automix mixing unit system aids in infection control in a clinical microbiology setting?
A
It sterilizes laboratory equipment using ultraviolet light.
B
It monitors air quality and removes airborne pathogens.
C
It automatically mixes disinfectants to ensure proper concentration, reducing human error and enhancing microbial elimination.

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the purpose of an automix mixing unit system in a clinical microbiology setting, which is primarily related to preparing disinfectants.
Recognize that proper disinfectant concentration is crucial for effective microbial elimination and infection control.
Identify that manual mixing of disinfectants can lead to errors in concentration, which may reduce their effectiveness or cause safety issues.
Note that an automix mixing unit system automates the mixing process, ensuring the disinfectants are prepared at the correct concentration every time.
Conclude that by reducing human error and ensuring consistent disinfectant strength, the automix system enhances infection control by effectively eliminating microbes.
