Dry heat sterilization is the process of sterilizing containers using hot air. Dry heat can take the form of still or convection. Still heating uses no blowers or moving air. Convection heating uses blowers or fans to keep the heated air moving, reducing the time it takes to heat the environment to the setpoint.
Sterilization is distinct from disinfection, sanitization, and pasteurization in that sterilization kills, deactivates, or eliminates all forms of life and other biological agents. widely used method for heat sterilization is the autoclave, sometimes called a converter or steam sterilizer.
