1. Introduction
A hot air oven is essential laboratory equipment that uses to dry heat (hot air) to
sterilize laboratory objects and samples. This type of sterilization is also known as
dry heat sterilization.
This mechanism of heat treatment was introduced by French scientist Louis Pasteur
in the late 1800s where he used dry heat for a brief period of time to kill off
harmful microorganisms from the wine without altering its taste.
A hot air oven is generally used for samples that are heat resistant and do not melt,
change the form or catch fire on exposure to high temperatures. It generally kills
microorganisms and bacterial spores at extremely high temperatures over several
hours and sterilizes items. Effective sterilization can only be achieved when the
appropriate temperature and holding time are selected depending on the type of
microorganism being targeted and the type of material being sterilized. The most
commonly used temperature and time to sterilize items are 170 degrees Celsius for
30 minutes, 160 degrees for 60 minutes, and 150 degrees for 150 minutes.
