Hot air sterilization ovens
How does hot air sterilization work?
In a hot air sterilization oven, heated air is actively circulated through the chamber by a fan. This process eliminates microorganisms and ensures sterile instruments and materials. Unlike drying ovens for general laboratory use, these ovens are specifically designed for sterilization processes with higher safety and compliance requirements.
Applications
- Sterilization of laboratory glassware and metal instruments
- Preparation of materials for microbiological analysis
- Validation and quality control in pharmaceutical production
- Use in medical and clinical laboratories
Industries
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries
- Medical laboratories and clinics
- Academic and applied research
- Microbiology and quality control
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a hot air sterilization oven and a drying oven?
A drying oven is intended for drying and tempering, often at lower temperatures. A hot air sterilization oven can reach up to 300 °C and is validated for sterilization of materials.
Which models are available?
The MMM Stericell ECO/EVO series is available in different volumes from 22 to 707 liters. All models feature forced convection and precise temperature control.
Are these ovens suitable for GMP environments?
Yes, Stericell ovens support IQ/OQ/PQ validation, and EVO models are prepared for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 data logging and user management.
