  • Items to be sterilized are placed
    in an oven maintained with
    temperature of about 170
    degrees Celsius for nearly 2
    hours. (more time and higher
    temp needed because there is no
    water present)
A

Dry Heat Sterilization

117
Q

Longer period and higher
temperature are required because
heat in water is more readily
transferred to a cool body than
heat in air.

A

Dry Heat Sterilization

118
