22nd OCTOBER 2002: The INTEGRA Biosciences Group has announced the availability of a new gas cartridge safety stand that provides users worldwide with a safe, comfortable and highly economical solution for mobile Bunsen burner applications including sterilisation and sample heating.

Designed for use with the FIREBOY plus™ and FIREBOY eco™ mobile bunsen burners the new adapter accommodates common larger gas cartridges including Camping Gaz CP 250 and other Butane (250 gram) cylinders providing a dramatic 5-15 fold improvement in economic gas usage.

Ensuring that larger gas cartridges are always in the correct position, the safety stand adapter guarantees high safety operation free of problems.  In use with the FIREBOY range of mobile bunsen burners the new gas cartridge safety stand is fully DVGW certified.

Easy-to-use the 'hands-free' FIREBOY range have no interfering cables or tubes.  Operating from a gas cartridge and powered from a battery they can be used without mains power or access to a plumbed-in gas supply.

The FIREBOY range are intrinsically much safer than traditional Bunsen burners having advanced temperature protection, flame monitor and alarm display features to protect the operator and operating environment.  Gas ignition is both rapid and safe, with the FIREBOY no lighter or matches are required.  The system has an infrared sensor that provides non-touch ignition of the gas supply when an object passes slowly through the sensor window at a distance of 6 to 8 centimetres.  For further information on safe, comfortable and highly economical mobile bunsen burner solutions please telephone your local INTEGRA Biosciences sales outlet or contact them by email at fireboy@integra-biosciences.com  or visit the website at www.integra-biosciences.com
