You don't want to be passing contamination from one sample to the next, and flaming loops in a Bunsen burner is slow and inconsistent—plus it leaves a mess of carbon residue. Infrared heat does the job in 5 to 7 seconds at a steady 825°C, give or take 25°C, which is hot enough to ash whatever is on that loop without splatter.
So we test every unit before it ships, running a full heat-up cycle to confirm it hits temperture within 15 minutes, and we log the actual peak temp for that serial number. Batch consistency is solid because the heating element and controller are matched in production, not just pulled from bins.

The BCS-800A model takes tools up to 15mm diameter with a 140mm heating zone, while the 800B handles bigger loops or forceps up to 35mm (the heating area is shorter at 100mm though). Both have stainless steel housings that won't rust in a damp lab, and they weigh about 1kg and 1.3kg respectively.

it have CE and ISO 13485 certification, plus the usual ISO 9001 and 14001 for quality and environmental management—so if you're audited, the paperwork is there. We keep COAs from the factory on file for each production batch, and if you need a copy with your order, just note it in the comments.

One limitation: the heating chamber is only about 15mm wide inside on the 800A, so you can't fit a big straight wire or a large spatula in there—the 800B is better for that, but still not meant for full instrument bodies. It's designed for loops, needles, and small forceps tips, basically.
Usually 20 units per carton, packed with foam inserts, and we ship from regional warehouses so lead time is typically 5-10 business days unless you're ordering more than 50 units or so (check stock on teh high-volume stuff). Votage is set at ordering—AC110V or 220V—so confirm that before we pick it.
The main difference is the sterilization capacity. The 800A handles a max diameter of 15mm with a 140mm heating zone and runs at 150W, while the 800B handles up to 35mm diameter with a 100mm heating zone at 250W. Also, the 800A weighs 1kg and is 155x120x180mm, while the 800B is 1.3kg and 130x120x200mm.
We typically require a minimum order of 10 units per model, but if you need fewer for a trial, just reach out and we can discuss options.
Standard lead time is 15 to 20 working days after order confirmation, depending on stock levels. If you need a rush order, let us know and we'll try to accommodate.
Yes, absolutely. We include copies of the CE, ISO13485, and ISO 9001/14001/45001 certificates with every order. Just request them when you place the order.
Yes, it's designed for anaerobic chamber use. The unit operates on infrared heat with no open flame or oxygen consumption, so it works safely inside the chamber without disrupting the atmosphere.
