I've been using plain old bottled nitrogen and an oxygen regulator with hose and pistol type attachment to clean my cameras, lenses, film, scanner and to fill my chemistry bottles before refrigerating them for quite a few years now. It has never harmed any of my film bodies and the *ist D came up very clean without me having to resort to using swabs or other forms of physical contact. I haven't a decent portable solution though.
