A U.S.-based company has launched a new line of mobile panels meant to provide shields for people. "ViralBarrier" from Precise Tooling Solutions is intended specifically for K-12 and higher education use.

According to the company, the new product features:

• Shatterproof clear quarter-inch-thick polycarbonate material that can be "easily sanitized";
• Hooded swivel-casters with brakes;
• Delivery fully assembled; and
• An optional mid-level shelf for lightweight digital devices and instructional aids.

The shield is built on a steel truss with an aluminum frame. It's available in a vertical or horizonal orientation and with a choice of "hundreds of colors." The size of the shield is 78 inches by 42 inches.

Production time is estimated to be 18 to 20 days once a purchase order has been submitted.
