The Bacti-Cinerator sterilizer sterilizes microorganisms utilizing infrared heat produced by a ceramic core element. The ceramic element contains no asbestos and ensures maximum sterility without splatter across the work surface area. Complete sterilization occurs within 5-7 seconds at optimum sterilizing temperature of 1500 F(815.6 C). The small footprint makes the Bacti-Cinerator sterilizer an ideal instrument for anaerobic and aerobic chambers alike.
