Standard Sizes:

  • Custom sizes available on request. CBC will custom size your sterilizing cylinder to better fit your autoclave and meet your laboratory requirements. Sometimes it's doing something simple like reducing the height of the cylinder legs so the sterilizing cylinder can better fit your autoclave shelves. Or, if we just reduce the diameter by a couple of inches, you can then fit two cylinders into your autoclave side-by-side.
