Hot air sterilization ovens
What Are Hot Air Sterilization Ovens?
A hot air sterilization oven uses dry heat to sterilize materials, typically at temperatures between 160 and 180 °C. Unlike steam sterilization, no moisture is involved, making dry heat suitable for instruments and laboratory materials that cannot tolerate steam. With forced air circulation and a stable temperature field, these ovens enable reproducible and reliable sterilization workflows.
Available Product Group in This Subcategory
- Stericell ECO/EVO (MMM Medcenter) – a series of dry heat sterilization ovens offering excellent temperature uniformity and precise airflow control.
Quick Selection – When Do You Choose a Hot Air Sterilization Oven?

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Dry Heat Sterilization Work?
Dry heat sterilization inactivates microorganisms through prolonged exposure to uniform high temperatures, without the use of steam or moisture.
What Are the Advantages of a Dry Heat Oven Compared to Steam Sterilization?
A dry heat oven is ideal for materials that cannot tolerate moisture, including metal instruments, glassware and certain heat-resistant components.
Why Do Laboratories Choose the MMM Stericell Series?
The Stericell ECO/EVO series provides excellent temperature uniformity and controlled airflow, ensuring consistent and reproducible sterilization processes in pharmaceutical and microbiological labs.
Can a Hot Air Sterilization Oven Be Used for Depyrogenation?
Depyrogenation requires higher temperatures and stricter validation requirements than standard dry heat sterilization. MMM recommends the Venticell IL / IL EASY series for depyrogenation processes.
Call me back
Hot air sterilization ovens, also known as laboratory sterilization ovens or dry heat ovens, are designed for reliable sterilization of glassware, metal instruments and laboratory materials. Through forced air convection and precise temperature control, these ovens provide uniform heat distribution and consistent results, even at high temperatures up to 300 °C. The Stericell ECO/EVO series from MMM Medcenter is widely used in pharmaceutical, medical and microbiological laboratories.
