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 may be defined as the inactivation or destruction of viable micro-organisms. ISO 11135:1994 defines sterility as âState of being free from viable micro-organismsâ. 2. - Sterilization Methods There are few agents capable of sterilizing polymer components. Typical methods are: â¢ Steam â¢ Ethylene oxide (EtO) â¢ Radiation (Gamma, Ebeam) â¢ Dry Heat â¢ Plasma 2.1. - Steam Sterilization Steam sterilization, or autoclaving, is a widely used method. It can be performed with relatively low-cost equipment using saturated steam. The process is robust, easy to control, safe and environmentally friendly.
