    Hot Air Oven

    Hot air oven sterilization uses dry heat to sterilize materials that may be damaged by moisture. The sterilization chamber is electrically heated with a fan to evenly distribute hot air. Common cycles are 170°C for 60 minutes, 160°C for 120 minutes, and 150°C for 150 minutes. It is non-toxic, penetrates materials well, and has low operating costs. However, the high temperatures can damage some materials. Bacillus atrophaeus spores are used to monitor the process as they are more resistant to dry heat than G. stearothermophilus spores.

    HOT AIR

    OVEN
    This method is used
    for materials that
    might be damaged
    by moist heat or that
    are impenetrable to
    the moist heat
    Example Sharp
    Glassware
    Instruments
    Powders

    Petroleum
    Products
    Procedure
    It has a sterilization
    chamber, which is
    electrically heated and has a
    fan or a motor to ensure
    adequate and even
    distribution of hot air in the
    chamber

     Dry heat acts by oxidation of


    cell constituents

     The most common cycles used


    are 170°C for 60 minutes,
    160°C for 120 minutes, and
    150°C for 150 minutes.
    Advantages
    It is non-toxic and penetrates
    does not harm well into materials

    The high temperatures
    Disadvantage are not suitable for most
    materials
    STERILIZATI

    CONTROL
    Spores of Bacillus
    atrophaeus is used as
    biological indicator as they
    are more resistant to
    dry heat than are
    G.stearothermophilus
    spores
