- Hands-Free Infrared Operation: Many models utilize DoubleClick IR-sensors, allowing users to ignite the flame with a wave of a hand, maintaining the sterility of the workspace and reducing gas consumption.
- Robust Stainless Steel Design: Built for the demanding conditions of a microbiology lab, WLD-TEC devices feature smooth, chemical-resistant stainless steel housings that are easy to clean and UV-stable.
- Versatile Power Options: From natural gas and propane connections to specialized rechargeable battery packs and gas cartridges, WLD-TEC provides solutions for every laboratory infrastructure.
- Space-Saving and Ergonomic: Their low-profile design ensures that burners fit comfortably under clean benches and hoods, while intuitive displays provide real-time status updates on burner operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can WLD-TEC burners be used in a laminar flow hood?
Yes, models like the Fuego SCS are specifically designed for use in clean benches. Their low-profile design minimizes turbulence in the airflow, maintaining the sterile environment of the hood.
2. What happens if the flame is accidentally extinguished?
The integrated Safety Control System (SCS) will automatically attempt to re-ignite the flame. If re-ignition fails, the system instantly shuts off the gas supply to prevent any dangerous accumulation of gas.
3. Do I need a technician to set up the Gasprofi burner?
WLD-TEC burners are designed for "Plug & Play" operation. With the correct adapters, they can be easily connected to central gas lines or portable gas cartridges by laboratory staff following the included safety guidelines.
4. Are the inoculation loop carousels compatible with other brands?
WLD-TEC inoculation loop carousels, like the Autoloop series, are designed to work seamlessly with their own gas burners to provide a fully automated sterilization and cooling cycle for maximum throughput.
