Apparatus for sterilising prescriptions

The apparatus for sterilising prescriptions, exhibited at the Museum of Pharmacy, was developed by Stanisław Bukowski in 1931. It was presented and turned on for the first time in his father’s Alfons Bukowski’s pharmacy, which was located at 54 Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw. A photograph of the apparatus appeared in an advertising brochure published in 1933 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the pharmacy. Two years later, on the 13th of May 1935, the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland granted Stanisław Bukowski patent no. 21507 for an “Automatic device for sterilising paper, especially prescriptions”.
