316L Stainless Steel Disinfection Soak Basket, 30L Volume, 0.8mm Wire Mesh, Corrosion-Resistant for Lab Use
Product Spotlights
As a trusted manufacturer since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory takes pride in offering the 316L Stainless Steel Disinfection Soak Basket, 30L Volume, 0.8mm Wire Mesh — a premium solution for laboratories requiring reliable, corrosion-resistant containment during sterilization and soaking procedures. Our factory, with an annual export value of US$5-10 million, has supplied baskets to markets across North America, South America, Europe, and beyond. This product is engineered to withstand harsh disinfectants, high temperatures, and repeated autoclaving, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding lab environments.
The 316L stainless steel construction offers superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it ideal for contact with bleach, alcohols, aldehydes, and other chemical sterilants. With a generous 30-liter capacity, it accommodates large volumes of instruments, glassware, or labware, while the 0.8mm wire mesh provides optimal drainage and visibility. The basket’s robust design supports heavy loads without deformation, and its smooth edges protect both the user and the contents.
Below we present the key technical specifications and features that make this soak basket a valuable asset for any laboratory.
Product Features
- Grade 316L Stainless Steel — Low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, enhancing corrosion resistance in acidic and chloride environments.
- 30-Liter Capacity — Ideal for soaking multiple instruments or large items simultaneously, improving workflow efficiency.

This soak basket is designed to meet the rigorous demands of laboratory disinfection protocols. The 316L grade ensures that the basket remains free from corrosion even when exposed to high-concentration chlorine solutions, hydrogen peroxide, or peracetic acid — common chemicals used in lab sterilization. The 0.8mm wire mesh provides a balance between strength and open area, allowing liquids to drain quickly while preventing small items from falling through. The 30-liter capacity is sufficient for soaking a full set of surgical instruments, laboratory glassware, or plastic containers, reducing the need for multiple batches.
One of the standout advantages of our basket is its customizability. We can adjust the dimensions, wire gauge, mesh opening, handle style, and even add dividers or partitions to suit specific applications. As a manufacturer with over 25 years of experience, we have the capability to produce small batches or large volumes with consistent quality. Our factory in Hengshui, Hebei, China, is equipped with advanced wire mesh welding machines and skilled workers to ensure every basket meets strict quality standards.
For laboratory managers and procurement professionals, this basket offers a cost-effective, durable solution that reduces replacement frequency. The 316L stainless steel resists intergranular corrosion after welding, and the passivated surface minimizes chemical adhesion. This means less time spent cleaning and more time focused on critical experiments. The basket is also compatible with standard autoclave racks and can be stacked for efficient storage.
We understand that trust is built on reliability. Our company has been a dedicated manufacturer since 1998, exporting to over 15 major markets globally, including North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. With an annual export value of US$5-10 million, we have proven our ability to deliver consistent quality on time. Our baskets are shipped from major ports such as Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, and Foshan, with flexible logistics options to meet your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is this basket suitable for autoclaving?
Yes, the 316L stainless steel can withstand repeated autoclave cycles (121°C or 134°C) without degradation. However, we recommend confirming the exact temperature and pressure conditions with your autoclave manufacturer.
Q2: Can the basket be used with bleach or chlorine-based disinfectants?
Absolutely. 316L stainless steel is highly resistant to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking, making it suitable for bleach solutions up to moderate concentrations. For prolonged exposure to high chlorine levels, consult our technical team.
Q3: What is the maximum load capacity of the 30L basket?
The load capacity depends on the specific dimensions and wire gauge. For the standard 0.8mm mesh, it can safely hold up to 15 kg of evenly distributed instruments. For heavier loads, we can customize with thicker wire (e.g., 1.0mm or 1.2mm).
Q4: Are the handles comfortable for heavy lifting?
Yes, the handles are ergonomically designed and can be wrapped with PVC grip or left as bare stainless steel. We also offer spring-loaded handles for easy stacking.
Q5: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Certainly. We provide samples for evaluation, with shipping costs negotiable. For first-time customers, sample orders are welcome.
Q6: What is the lead time for standard and custom orders?
For standard 30L baskets, lead time is typically 7-15 days after order confirmation. Custom orders may require 15-25 days, depending on complexity. We also offer express shipping options.
Q7: Does the basket come with any certification?
We perform in-house quality checks including material composition analysis, dimensional inspection, and corrosion resistance tests. Certificates of Conformance are provided upon request. If you require third-party testing (e.g., SGS, Bureau Veritas), we can arrange it at an additional cost.
Q8: How do I clean the basket after use?
Rinse with warm water and mild detergent, then autoclave or soak in a disinfectant. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface. For stubborn residues, a stainless steel cleaner can be used.
