Infrared Loop Sterilizer - Bacti-cinerator for Inoculation Loops - 900°C - Flame-Free

The Master Science Infrared Loop Sterilizer uses infrared heat to sterilize inoculation loops, needles, test tube mouths and bottle necks without an open flame. It is safe to use inside biological safety cabinets, laminar flow hoods and near extraction systems, and air currents do not affect its performance.

A high-purity alumina ceramic heating chamber reaches up to 900 °C, sterilizing a loop in seconds, and the heater can be tilted to treat tube and bottle mouths without spilling liquid.

Key Benefits

• No open flame: the Master Science Infrared Loop Sterilizer removes the fire risk of Bunsen burners inside safety cabinets.
• Seconds per loop: high chamber temperature sterilizes loops and needles almost instantly.
• No spatter: enclosed heating prevents aerosol and splatter of contaminated material.
• Long element life: automatic voltage regulation keeps temperature steady and protects the ceramic.
• Adjustable angle: tilting heater handles tubes and bottles containing liquid.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This Sterilizer Helps

How the Master Science Infrared Loop Sterilizer improves aseptic technique:

• Bunsen burners disrupting cabinet airflow: flameless heating keeps laminar flow intact.
• Splatter from loops: enclosed infrared heating contains residue.
• Gas supply not available: it runs on mains power only.
• Voltage fluctuations: automatic regulation keeps temperature stable.
• Spilling tube contents: the tilting heater fits tube mouths at an angle.
