A white paper from Integra describes the security features of Safety Bunsen Burners in relation to the dangers of flame sterilisation using alcohol burners, gas cookers or traditional Bunsen burners.
Flame sterilisation is a routine task carried out in many microbiological, clinical and life science laboratories.
Safety Bunsen Burners were developed to ensure high safety by eliminating the risk of gas leaks and explosions inherent in using alcohol burners, gas cookers and traditional Bunsen burners connected to a gas distribution system.
With a Safety Bunsen Burner the gas ignition is immediate and safe, as no lighter or matches are needed.
Unlike traditional burners, the gas supply flows only if a gas flame is detected by the flame monitor.
Advanced features such as temperature protection, user-defined maximum burning time and alarm display serve to protect both the operator and operating environment.
Operating from a wide range of gas cartridges, the battery-powered Safety Bunsen Burner was developed to be used anywhere, eliminating the need for connection to an installed gas distribution system.
With no interfering cables or tubes, the hands-free and DVGW-certified Fireboy Safety Bunsen Burner from Integra has been proven in thousands of installations worldwide to be intrinsically safe and easy-to-use.
