MicroStop Dry Heat Sterilizer - Protect Pro

About MicroStop Dry Heat Sterilizer - Protect Pro

The MicroStop Protect Pro is the largest unit in the MicroStop dry heat range, built for salons and studios that sterilize in volume rather than in small batches. Tools load across 7 horizontal shelves, holding up to 28 full instrument sets or 21 sterilization pouches in a single cycle.

Handling High Volume

• Three sterilization modes: 200°C for 30 minutes, 180°C for 60 minutes, or 160°C for 150 minutes, plus an 80°C/30-minute drying-only mode
• Heats to sterilization temperature in about 20-30 minutes given the size of the chamber, holding within ±3°C of the set point
• Internal fan circulates heat across all 7 shelves
• Electronic controls with a front-panel display for live temperature and time
• Horizontal-only loading keeps a large batch organized and easy to load across shelves

Running a Full Load

1. Clean, rinse, and fully dry every tool before loading — nothing wet goes into a dry heat chamber.
2. Distribute tools or pouches across the shelves, keeping ventilation openings clear.
3. Choose a mode: all three sterilization settings work for loose tools; pouches need the 180°C or 160°C cycles.
4. Wait for the unit to finish heating before the sterilization timer starts.
5. Let the chamber cool fully before opening, then power down.

At roughly 19 kg and drawing up to 0.7 kW, this is a countertop commitment rather than a compact add-on — plan for a dedicated spot with clearance for the shelves to load easily. It's built for large salons, spas, and high-traffic studios running multiple stations, not solo practitioners — smaller operations are usually better matched to the Mini, Compact, or Optimal.

FAQ

Is this too much sterilizer for a small salon?
Probably. The Protect Pro is sized for high-traffic, multi-station environments; smaller salons and solo techs are usually better served by the Mini, Compact, or Optimal.

Can I load pouches vertically like the smaller models?
No. This model uses horizontal loading only, across its 7 shelves.

How much longer does it take to heat up compared to the smaller units?
Longer — about 20-30 minutes versus roughly 15-20 minutes on the mid-size models, since it's heating a much larger chamber.
