Sterilizes in 5 to 7 seconds
No open flame
Ergonomic design
The Nova Microcinerator is designed to sterilize metal inoculating loops and needles without using an open flame; eliminating aerosoling of micro organisms. By using infrared heat inside a ceramic tube, the Nova Microcinerator protects your laboratory technicians from dangerous gases, flames and splatter. After reaching its optimum sterilization temperature 815°C (1500°F), the loop or needle is sterilized within 5-7 seconds.
The heating element is protected by a perforated stainless steel cowl. Unlike other models with fixed burner assemblies; the Nova can be adjusted to five different positions in 8° increments (-8° to +32°). The ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue by allowing the user to access the burner from multiple positions.
