Biobase BK-HM15 Infrared Loop Sterilizer
€270,00 excl. VAT
The Biobase BK-HM15 Infrared Loop Sterilizer provides rapid, flame-free sterilization of inoculating loops and small tools in microbiology laboratories.
Replacing traditional alcohol burners, this infrared sterilizer operates safely without open flames and can be used in oxygen-free environments and laminar flow cabinets.
Sterilization temperatures are reached in less than 15 minutes, while complete disinfection is achieved in only 2–5 seconds.
The ceramic heating tube prevents splashing and cross-contamination, ensuring safe daily use in sterile workflows.
Biobase BK-HM15 Infrared Loop Sterilizer for Flame-Free Microbiology Work
The Biobase BK-HM15 infrared loop sterilizer is designed for laboratories seeking a safe, fast and reliable alternative to Bunsen burners when sterilizing inoculating loops, needles and small microbiology tools.
Using high-temperature infrared radiation, the instrument heats a ceramic tube to sterilization temperatures of up to 840 °C, eliminating microorganisms within seconds — without producing flames, aerosols or combustion gases. This makes the unit particularly suitable for use inside laminar flow cabinets, biological safety cabinets and clean benches.
Safe and Contamination-Free Design
The ceramic funnel-shaped heating chamber contains ash-like organic residue deep inside the tube, preventing splashing and reducing the risk of cross-contamination between samples.
Because no alcohol or gas is required, the BK-HM15 significantly improves laboratory safety while reducing consumable costs.
Adjustable Angle and Compact Footprint
The heating head can be tilted upward by 30° or downward by 45°, allowing ergonomic positioning depending on bench height and operator preference.
With its small footprint and lightweight construction, the sterilizer integrates easily into microbiology labs, plant tissue culture rooms and teaching laboratories.
