Sterilizing Objects With Hot Air Oven

Hot air oven is used for sterilization

Hot air oven is used for sterilization - Originally invented by Pasteur, a hot air oven is an electrical instrument that uses dry heat to sterilize. The heat operation ranges from 50°C to 300°C. The need for Hot air oven in the present scenario is tremendous in manufacturing, rubber, pharmaceutical laboratories, and plastics. Working is purely based on the thermostat to manage the temperature. Dry heat sterilization is applied to an instrument that is not wet. It cannot be implemented on a substance that melts, catches fire, or changes its form after its exposure to high temperatures. Moist heat sterilization is the method that uses water to boil objects or high-pressure steam to sterilize.

 


Hot air oven sterilizes objects such as glassware (test tubes, flasks, and pipettes), metal instruments (blades, scissors), powders (sulfadiazine, starch, zinc oxide), and materials that have oil and glass test tubes.
 
The components used for the dry heat sterilization in a Hot air oven are:
  • Shelves
  • A fan
  • Temperature sensor
  • A chamber that is insulated and covered by an outer case consisting of electric heaters
  • Thermocouples
  • Door Locks
 
The method to use a Hot air oven is as follows:
 
  • Things that are to be sterilized are covered or sealed in containers of aluminum or paper
  • The objects are organized in such a way that there is an uninterrupted air supply
  • The oven is heated in advance for those objects that are bad conductors of heat.
  • The temperature is reduced to 40°C before the removal of the sterilized object.
 
The pros of the equipment are that the treatment eliminates bacterial endotoxin, other treatments are unable to do this. The dry heat sterilization method leaves no chemical residue. All objects are not suitable for wet sterilization. A safe metal instrument with dry sterilization as metal rusts when wet sterilization is conducted. Thermostat-based control for heat management. Proper insulation for the safety of equipment surfaces. Digitally controlled interface to control heat.
 
The double-wall insulator maintains heat and energy. It has an area of air to support isolation. Uniform distribution of heat is done by a fan. Adjustable wire shelves, an on/off switch with indicators as well as temperature control and maintenance time. Hot air ovens can have various capacities.
 
Presto Hot air oven is based upon the principle of air convection. It works on the forced air circulation principle in which hot air elevates and rises to the top within the chamber, cools down due to the fan, and comes down to the base of the chamber. The instrument is used to test compression sets, heat deformation, and heat resistance in industries like plastic, paper, rubber, etc. The instrument is needed to test the effect of high temperature on several kinds of objects, for example, metal, plastics, rubber, textiles, etc. Presto offers reliable and time-tested instruments.

Test The Durability Of Surface Coatings In The Corrosive Saline Environment

Image
  Are you tired of surface coatings that promise durability but fail to withstand the test of time in corrosive saline environments? If yes, then it’s time to buckle up and test the durability of products with the help of the  Presto salt spray testing chamber . The salt spray chamber  Korrox IV Magnus Series Computerized  is one of the high-quality  lab testing equipment  that is used to test the corrosion resistance of materials that are used in the manufacturing of products such as fasteners. This testing instrument provides a consistent and realistic simulation of real-world weathering conditions, making it essential testing equipment for any testing program. By using the  cyclic salt spray chamber , manufacturers can be confident that their products will withstand the rigours of exposure to salt spray and other corrosive conditions. In this blog, we will discuss a brief about the  Presto  salt spray chamber  and the importance of testing the durability of surface coatings in corro

How does the edge crush tester work?

Image
  Whenever you are shipping your products to the market, then it is important to make sure that the box will arrive in the best condition without damaging any contents inside it. But how can you make sure that your box can withstand the rigors of shipping? This can be done by performing quality tests with the help of appropriate  lab testing instruments .  One of the most important factors to be considered to test the quality of the material is its resistance against edge compression forces. Thus, to overcome the challenge of poor-quality boxes, we at Presto have designed a  digital edge crush tester   that is used to test the edge-wise compression strength of boxes and ensure that quality materials will be delivered to the customers. Presto is a leading manufacturer of  ECT/RCT/FCT/crush testers  and has designed this high-quality lab testing instrument as per industry standards. In this blog, we are going to discuss brief information about the edge crush tester and how this  lab test

What is the use of tensile strength tester in plastic industry?

Image
  The  tensile strength test  is a quality test that is used to test the maximum stress a material can withstand. This test is important because it can help determine the durability of the material. In the plastic product manufacturing industry, elongation and breaking stress play a vital role in determining the quality of plastics. Thus, to make it easy for you to conduct a  tensile test,  you can make use of Presto  tensile strength tester .  This is one of the high-quality  lab testing equipment  that is used to evaluate the tensile strength of materials to ensure durability and stability of these materials. This  lab testing equipment  is based on the constant rate of traverse principle and comes with an upper and lower jaw, to firmly hold the specimen with ease. Material has a low tensile strength, it may break easily under high stress. On the other hand, if a material has high tensile strength, it may be able to withstand more wear and tear. The results of the  tensile strength t
