A hot air oven is a laboratory device used for sterilizing equipment and materials by applying dry heat. It works by circulating hot air within a sealed chamber, typically at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 300°C. Commonly used in microbiology, pharmaceuticals, and clinical labs, the oven is ideal for sterilizing glassware, metal instruments, and heat-resistant materials.
