Quickly ａnd Safely Sterilizes Metal Loops ａnd Needles快速安全消毒的金属环和针.Microincinerator sterilizes metal inoculating loops ａnd needles quickly without using an open flame, eliminating the aerosolizing of microorganisms. Sterilization occurs via infrared heat at a temperature of 815°C (1500°F). Loops ａnd needles are sterilized within 5–7 seconds; there is no need to wait for the metal to glow red. Infrared heat is safer than a Bunsen burner as it requires no gas. The heating element is protected by a stainless steel cowl ａnd a cast aluminum tripod base with suction cup feet to stabilize the unit. To reduce hand fatigue, the unit can be adjusted to five different positions in 8° increments.
