Loops, Needles, and Sterilizers for Histology Preparation
Bacti-Cinerator IV
Features:
- Sterilizes loops and needles safely and conveniently
- Prevents infectious spatter and/or cross contamination
- Safeguard laboratory personnel – no open flame – no hazardous gas
- Ideal for use in anaerobic chambers
The Baci-Cinerator IV sterilizes by infrared heat (Heater Element contains no asbestos) – organic material is incinerated deep inside the ceramic tunnel. To use, simply insert loop or needle into the tunnel.
Complete sterilization takes only 5 to 7 seconds at optimum sterilizing temperature of 1,500°F. There is no need to wait for the loops or needles to turn red. Unit does not require oxygen so it can be used in anaerobic chambers. Operates on 120V, 60Hz. UL approved.

EMS BactiZapper™ Infrared Microsterilizer
Features
- Complete infrared sterilization in 5-7 seconds
- Safe, convenient and no spatter
- Ideal for platinum loops, needles and tube mouths
The BactiZapper™ has an asbestos-free core element that uses infrared heating to produce 815°C (1500°F). It completely sterilizes microorganisms in 5-7 seconds. The BactiZapper™ uses well-proven technology to provide instant sterilization of platinum inoculating loops, needles, glass tube / pipette mouths and various metal & borosilicate glass instruments used in quality control and research. It also has a lower temperature setting (500°C) that can be used as a "standby" and extends usable life.
The ceramic heating element is safely enclosed in a perforated stainless steel guard chamber, protecting users from accidental contact with the extreme temperatures of the core area. It is extremely compact, convenient and can be used in anaerobic and aerobic chambers.

Inoculating Loops & Needles
These sterile, disposable, plastic loops and needles are designed for use in quantitative procedures such as sampling, urine counts and serial dilutions, as well as for bacterial inoculation. Because they are pre-sterilized and designed for single use, there is no risk of cross-contamination and no need for flaming. They are flexible enough for streaking, yet rigid enough for subsurface inoculation. The unique hexaginal shape of the shaft makes it easier to grip, position and guide through a smooth streaking process. The loop surfaces are extremely smooth, with no rough edges and no flashing or burrs on the loop head. This results in the elimination of cutting or gouging of the agar surface. Sterile, disposable and verifiably accurate, these loops provide an efficient, cost-effective and time saving alternative to traditional metallic loops.
