Good choice.
Application Area:Cell culture
"The Fireboy burner was a great addition for remote lab areas that do not have gas hook ups. Easy to use, ran into some trouble with the connection and not being able to light after about 5 years of service. Still great value over running gas lines for occasional use."

Works great!
Application Area:Educational microbiology lab
"The FIREBOY plus works great with a standard gas hose and gas tank. The only issue we have had in the educational lab is that students tend to spill liquid on the burner head, wetting the ignition electrode, which stops igniting. We then have to take apart the head, clean the parts for it to start working properly again. It is not really a design fault but with young, inexperienced learners, it has been a bit of an issue."

Fits nicely into the working area and became an indispensable device.
Application Area:Cell tissue culture experiment regarding pathomechanisms of fib
"The Fireboy plus is working very well and reliably in every kind of situation. We use it with the ignition sensor and a relatively short burning time just for scarfing bottles and Pasteur pipettes under the clean bench."
