Industry-standard sterilizing trays and pans keep reusable equipment in place during disinfecting procedures. Perforated bottoms allow water to escape while drying instruments and labware. Typically constructed from stainless steel to withstand the high temperatures common in autoclaving, the bins are extremely durable. Tapered upper edges allow the containers to nest and stack for optimum working and storing space. Sterilizing trays and pans may feature handles for easy carrying between benchtop and heating apparatus.
