Laboratory burners and sterilizers make inoculation loops, needles and instruments sterile for aseptic microbiological work. We supply WLD-TEC Fuego SCS gas burners and SteriMax loop sterilizers, with a regulated flame or completely flameless using infrared. Ideally suited for use in a laminar flow cabinet, supplied with advice, installation and maintenance.

Laboratory burners and sterilizers are instruments used to make inoculation loops, needles and delicate micro-instruments sterile before aseptic inoculation. They are the foundation of safe microbiological work: by briefly heating the surface until red-hot, all micro-organisms are killed so you can work without cross-contamination. There are two techniques. A gas burner sterilizes with an open, regulated flame, while an electric loop sterilizer does this completely flamelessly using a heated ceramic element or focused infrared light. This category offers both solutions from the German brand WLD-TEC, supplied with advice, installation and maintenance.
The choice between a gas burner and an electric loop sterilizer depends on your working environment and safety requirements. A gas burner delivers a very hot, universal flame and suits a wide range of flame applications, but works with an open flame and a gas connection. An electric sterilizer works flamelessly, needs no gas and does not disturb the airflow. That makes the electric version ideally suited for use in a flow cabinet and for anaerobic work, where open flames are not permitted.
Gas burner (open flame): choose this when you want a flexible, hot flame for annealing loops, heating glassware or sterilizing instruments at a regular workbench.
Electric sterilizer (flameless): choose this when you work in a flow cabinet or safety cabinet, work with flammable substances, or work in an environment where gas and open flames are not permitted.
Our range consists of three WLD-TEC product lines, complemented by accessories. Below you see the technique and application per line.
Fuego SCS gas burners: the Fuego SCS laboratory burner replaces the classic Bunsen burner with a modern, precisely regulated flame with a flame temperature up to 1350 degrees Celsius. The built-in Safety Control System continuously monitors ignition, flame and temperature and immediately shuts off the gas supply in case of danger. Available in four versions (basic, basic RF, SCS and pro), with operation via button, foot pedal or touch-free IR-sensor.
SteriMax infrared loop sterilizers: the SteriMax basic and smart sterilize flamelessly using IR-HotSpot technology. Focused infrared light sterilizes a loop in 5 to 10 seconds at 750 to 1000 degrees Celsius, ready to use immediately with no warm-up time.
SteriMax loop sterilizer (double tube): the classic SteriMax sterilizes flamelessly with a heated double tube system of ceramic and quartz glass at 900 to 950 degrees Celsius. Available in two sizes for small or larger instruments.
Accessories: matching loop holders, inoculation loops in stainless steel or platinum/iridium, foot pedals and spray protectors are available separately. Ask our specialists for advice on the right combination.
In a laminar flow cabinet or biological safety cabinet an open flame is undesirable: the heat disturbs the laminar airflow and in many environments gas is not permitted. A flameless SteriMax sterilizer solves this. The device does not disturb the airflow, needs no gas connection and is safe to use thanks to its Cool-Touch housing. This keeps the sterility of your working area intact while you sterilize loops quickly and reliably.
Working with an open flame calls for built-in safety. The Fuego SCS series is therefore equipped with the Safety Control System (SCS), which monitors ignition and flame and shuts off the gas supply as soon as something goes wrong. The Burner Head Control (BHC) signals clogging or an incorrectly assembled burner head, and a residual heat display warns of a still-hot burner. Automatic switch-off prevents unintended continued burning. This combines the convenience of a flame with the safety of modern monitoring.
This equipment is used wherever sterile, aseptic work takes place.
Microbiology and diagnostics: annealing loops when inoculating and subculturing cultures in clinical and medical-diagnostic laboratories.
Pharmaceutical industry and biotech: sterile work in culturing, quality control and R&D within pharmaceutical processes, often combined with a flow cabinet.
Food industry: microbiological analyses and shelf-life testing within the food industry, where cross-contamination must be prevented.
Universities and research institutes: education and research in microbiology, genetics and biotechnology.
In addition to supplying laboratory burners and sterilizers, Poly Temp Scientific provides installation and periodic maintenance. Our specialists advise you on the right technique, version and accessories for your application. For advice or a quote, please contact us.

A gas burner sterilizes with an open, regulated flame and is universally usable, but works with gas and an open flame. An electric loop sterilizer works flamelessly with a heated ceramic element or infrared light, needs no gas and does not disturb the airflow. The electric version is therefore ideal for use in a flow cabinet or for anaerobic work.
Both types are made for annealing and sterilizing inoculation loops, needles and delicate micro-instruments. This lets you work free of cross-contamination when inoculating and subculturing cultures in microbiology.
We supply the WLD-TEC range: the Fuego SCS gas burner in four versions, the flameless SteriMax infrared loop sterilizer (basic and smart) and the classic SteriMax loop sterilizer with double tube system. We also supply matching loop holders, inoculation loops, foot pedals and spray protectors.
An open flame disturbs the laminar airflow in a flow cabinet and is often not permitted there. A flameless SteriMax sterilizer does not disturb the airflow, needs no gas connection and stays cool on the outside. This keeps the sterility of the working area intact.
The Fuego SCS gas burner reaches a flame temperature up to 1350 degrees Celsius. The SteriMax infrared sterilizer works at 750 to 1000 degrees Celsius and is ready to use immediately, while the classic SteriMax with double tube system sterilizes at 900 to 950 degrees Celsius after a short warm-up time.
Yes. The Fuego SCS series has a Safety Control System that monitors ignition, flame and temperature and immediately shuts off the gas supply in case of danger. The Burner Head Control signals clogging and a residual heat display warns of a hot burner, while automatic switch-off prevents unintended continued burning.
