Whether you need to sterilize surgical tools, organize glassware, or process small components, our basket delivers outstanding functionality and longevity.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Premium 316L Stainless Steel – Low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, enhancing corrosion resistance against chlorides, acids, and alkalis. Ideal for harsh cleaning agents and steam sterilization.
- 20 Mesh Count – 20 openings per linear inch (0.84mm aperture) allows efficient drainage while retaining tiny instruments, tips, or screws. Prevents loss of small items.
- 0.3mm Wire Diameter – Provides excellent structural integrity and shape retention, even under heavy loads or high-temperature cycles.
- Precision Woven Construction – Uniform mesh openings ensure consistent performance. Welded edges or folded seams (depending on customization) add strength and prevent unraveling.
- Customizable Dimensions – Available in various sizes, shapes, and configurations (with or without handles, lids, or dividers) to fit your specific lab equipment.
- Surface Finish Options – Passivated or electro-polished finish reduces surface roughness, improving cleanability and resistance to contamination.
- Lightweight yet Durable – Easy to handle and transport, yet robust enough for daily laboratory use.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between 316L and 304 stainless steel for this basket?
A: 316L contains molybdenum, offering superior resistance to chlorides and acids. It is recommended for lab environments where harsh chemicals or high-temperature sterilization are used. 304 is more economical but less corrosion-resistant. -
Q: Can I get the basket in custom dimensions?
A: Yes, we offer full customization. Please provide your desired length, width, height, and any special features (handles, lids, dividers). We can also adjust the mesh count or wire diameter upon request. -
Q: Is this basket suitable for ultrasonic cleaning?
A: Absolutely. The 316L stainless steel and woven mesh structure are ideal for ultrasonic cleaning. The open area allows cavitation bubbles to reach all surfaces effectively. -
Q: What is the maximum temperature the basket can withstand?
A: 316L stainless steel can typically withstand up to 800°C in air. For autoclaving at 134°C, the basket performs excellently without deformation or oxidation. -
Q: Do you provide samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we can provide samples of standard sizes. For custom samples, a small mold fee may apply, which is refundable upon large orders. Please contact our sales team. -
Q: How is the basket packaged for export?
A: Each basket is individually wrapped in bubble film or placed in a polybag, then packed in sturdy cartons or wooden crates, depending on quantity. We ensure safe transport to avoid damage. -
Q: What is the lead time for production?
A: For standard sizes, lead time is 7-15 days. For custom orders, it is typically 15-25 days, depending on complexity and quantity. We can expedite urgent orders. -
Q: Can I get a certificate of material composition?
A: Yes, we provide a mill test certificate (MTC) for 316L stainless steel upon request. This confirms the chemical composition and mechanical properties.
