Benchmark Micro Bead Research Sterilizers provide fast, flame-free sterilization for forceps, scissors, and other laboratory tools. Using high-temperature glass beads, these compact devices eliminate bacteria, spores, and other contaminants in seconds — all without the hazards of an open flame.
Two sizes are available to accommodate different tool lengths. The standard model (B1201) is ideal for routine instruments, while the taller model (B1202) allows deeper sterilization for longer or larger implements.
Features:
- Digital temperature control up to 300°C
- Preheats in approximately 25 minutes
- Includes glass beads for immediate use
- Ideal for sterilizing forceps, scissors, tweezers, pipette tips, and similar tools
- Safe alternative to open flames; ideal for biosafety hoods
- TALL model (B1202) supports larger or longer instruments
- For research use only — not for clinical/hospital use
