Igneus Scientific

• Sterilizes forceps & other research tools (generally in 15 sec.)
• Digital control, up to 300C
• Eliminates the danger associated with open flames
• TALL model, for steilization of larger objects

Benchmark’s Micro Bead Sterilizer is ideal for the sterilization of small research tools (forceps, scissors, etc.). When the chamber is filled with the included glass beads, high temperatures (up to 300°C) can be used to eliminate the presence of bacteria, spores and other microorganisms.

Chamber temperature can be viewed on the large LED control panel and conveniently adjusted with the control knob. The outer casing of the unit stays cool to the touch, even when the sterilizer is used all day. The supplied safety cover can be placed over the opening to conserve energy and reduce the heating/ramping rate. The Micro Bead Sterilizer does not use gas, flame or chemicals and is safe for use in hoods.

With adjustable temperature, the application range of the sterilizer can also be exanded into incubations and the decontamination of plastic objects/tools.

• Accepts bottles/flasks up to 2L
• Fully automatic, just press start
• Adjustable sterilization times
• USB port for digital documentation of records
• Built in water tank, does not require connection to an external water supply

With similar operation to the BioClave Mini and BioClave 16, the new 28 liter model features an increased chamber size with a diameter of 32cm. With this larger internal chamber, the BioClave 28 is our only model capable of sterilizing 1 and 2 liters flasks (and bottles). Despite the increased chamber size, the unit is still relatively compact, suitable for benchtop use.

Operation is fully automatic, meaning all segments of operation (fill, sterilize, exhaust and dry) commence and run to completion by simply pressing “Start”. An optional thermal mini-printer is also available for providing a record of sterilization parameters. In addition, a built in USB port allows for transfer of these parameters to a computer for printing or storage of cycle data.

Both BioClaves offer three cycle options (standard programs), which are preset for the sterilization of liquids, wrapped instruments or unwrapped instruments /plastic ware. A “Dry Only” option is also available for additional drying time to be added to the end of a cycle. For special applications, requiring variations in cycle parameters, all settings on the BioClaves are fully adjustable.
