Glass Bead Sterilizer - Digital Dry Instrument Sterilizer - 100-300°C - 150g Bead Capacity

The Master Science Glass Bead Sterilizer is a small benchtop unit for quick sterilization of forceps, scissors, needles and other fine surgical or dissecting instruments. Its chamber is filled with glass beads that are heated to as much as 300°C, and the tips of the instruments are pushed into the hot beads for about 10 to 15 seconds.

Because it works with dry heat only, there are no gases, fumes, open flames or liquid disinfectants, so the Master Science Glass Bead Sterilizer can be used safely inside a laminar flow hood. A digital controller with LCD shows the real-time temperature and countdown, and over-temperature protection is built in.

Problems the Master Science Glass Bead Sterilizer Solves

Between-sample sterilization of small tools is often slow or unsafe. The Master Science Glass Bead Sterilizer helps with:

• Slow turnaround between samples: Hot beads sterilize instrument tips in seconds.
• Open flames in the hood: Dry bead heating needs no flame or alcohol.
• Chemical residues: No liquid disinfectants touch the instruments.
• Uncertain temperature: The digital display shows the actual bead temperature at all times.
