Heating Element Assembly for BactiZapper Tilt , 115 V

The B1001-RA is the 115 V replacement heating element assembly for the BactiZapper Tilt (B1001) microsterilizer. Sold at $216 ($20 premium over the Classic-family B1000-RA at $196), the Tilt-family element is mechanically distinct from the Classic-family element — the tilt-mechanism mounting requires a different element-assembly form factor, so Classic and Tilt elements do not interchange.

Voltage options: This accessory is also available for European voltage configurations of the parent equipment.

Key Specifications

Why a Different Element from the Classic Family

The BactiZapper Tilt's adjustable tilt mechanism requires the heating-element assembly to integrate with the tilt-pivot hardware. This produces a different element-assembly form factor vs the fixed-angle Classic, so:

• Tilt chassis (B1001, possibly B1001-XL) ↔ Tilt element (B1001-RA)
• Classic chassis (B1000) ↔ Classic element (B1000-RA)

These two element families do not interchange — confirm chassis-family match before procurement.

The $20 premium for the Tilt element ($216 vs $196 for the Classic element) reflects the more-complex assembly integrating the tilt-mechanism mounting hardware.

Voltage-Specific Resistance Matching (Same as Classic Family)

Element resistance must be matched to line voltage. A 230 V element in a 115 V chassis delivers ¼ rated power (insufficient heat); a 115 V element in a 230 V chassis draws 4× rated current (catastrophic failure). Confirm voltage match at every replacement procurement.

When to Replace

Same end-of-element-life indicators as the Classic family:

• Operating temperature drops below 815 °C (incomplete loop sterilization)
• Element discoloration / cracking (visual inspection)
• Audible / visual element failure during operation
• Manufacturer-recommended replacement interval per Benchmark Scientific service guidance

Routine inventory recommendation: institutional facilities running BactiZapper Tilts at high throughput benefit from maintaining one replacement element assembly on-shelf per chassis to minimize downtime.

Ordering & Configuration

Confirm voltage and chassis family. B1001-RA = 115 V Tilt only. For 230 V variant order by special order; for Classic chassis (B1000) order B1000-RA (different element form factor).

Confirm B1001-XL pairing if the chassis is the Tilt XL. The XL chamber may require a different element variant — confirm at procurement.

Pair with chassis service / installation. Element-assembly replacement requires partial chassis disassembly — confirm facility service capability or arrange installation through Benchmark Scientific service.

Confirm at quote: chassis voltage and family (Tilt vs Tilt XL), end-of-element-life justification, installation service plan, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard replacement-component terms — confirm at quote.

Replacement heating element selection:

- B1000-RA — Classic chassis 115 V ($196)

- B1001-RA (this product) — Tilt chassis 115 V ($216) — DOES NOT interchange with Classic

Pick the 115 V Tilt element assembly for B1001 end-of-life replacement; verify chassis-family match (Tilt vs Classic, different form factor) before installation. 230 V variant available by special order.
