Key Features & Advantages
- Premium 316L Stainless Steel – Contains molybdenum for enhanced resistance to chlorides, acids, and other aggressive chemicals. Ideal for wet-lab environments where 304 grade may corrode.
- 1.5mm Wire Diameter – Provides excellent structural strength without adding unnecessary weight. Baskets maintain their shape even when loaded with heavy glassware or metal tools.
- Acid-Resistant Performance – Withstands exposure to dilute sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and many organic acids commonly used in laboratories. Surface passivation further improves corrosion resistance.
- Ergonomic Carrying Handles – Designed for comfortable grip and easy transport. Handles are welded securely to the basket body, ensuring no separation under load.
- Mesh Design for Drainage & Ventilation – Open wire construction allows liquids to drain quickly and air to circulate, preventing moisture buildup and bacterial growth.
- Customizable Dimensions – We offer a wide range of standard sizes, but also accept custom orders for length, width, height, and wire spacing. Please contact us for your specific requirements.
- Easy to Clean – Smooth welded joints and rounded edges minimize crevices where dirt can accumulate. Can be washed with standard lab detergents or autoclaved for sterilization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can this basket withstand frequent exposure to hydrochloric acid?
A: 316L stainless steel offers good resistance to dilute hydrochloric acid at room temperature. However, concentrated HCl or elevated temperatures may cause corrosion. We recommend conducting a small-scale test under your specific conditions.
Q2: Are the baskets available with a smooth, polished surface?
A: Yes. We offer both matte (standard) and bright polished finishes. The bright finish is easier to clean and provides a more aesthetic appearance, but can be slightly more expensive. Please specify your preference when ordering.
Q3: What is the maximum load capacity for a 400x300x200 mm basket?
A: For that size, the safe working load is approximately 10–12 kg, assuming uniform distribution. The basket itself is very sturdy, but we recommend not exceeding the rated load to avoid deformation.
Q4: Can I get a basket with a finer mesh for small items?
A: Absolutely. We can modify the wire spacing or use a smaller wire diameter (e.g., 1.0 mm) with tighter mesh. Custom mesh openings are available – just let us know your requirements.
Q5: Is the basket suitable for autoclave sterilization?
A: Yes, 316L stainless steel can withstand typical autoclave cycles (121°C or 134°C). However, repeated autoclaving may cause slight discoloration, which does not affect performance. We recommend drying the basket after each cycle to prevent water spots.
Q6: What is the lead time for standard sizes?
A: For standard sizes in stock, we can ship within 7–10 days. For production orders (non-stock), the lead time is 15–25 days depending on quantity. We offer expedited service for urgent orders at an additional cost.
Q7: Do you provide samples before bulk purchase?
A: Yes, we can provide samples of standard sizes. The sample cost is reasonable, and we will refund the sample fee upon placing a bulk order. Please contact our sales team for details.
Q8: How do you ensure the baskets are free from sharp edges?
A: All wire ends are carefully welded and ground smooth. We also perform a hand-feel inspection on every basket to ensure no sharp edges or burrs. This is especially important for laboratory safety.
