A hot air oven in microbiology is essential for sterilization purposes. It uses dry heat to kill microorganisms by denaturing their proteins and disrupting their cellular structures. This process is crucial for sterilizing glassware, instruments, and media used in microbiological experiments. Hot air ovens provide a reliable and efficient method for achieving complete sterilization without using chemicals, making them a standard tool in microbiological labs for maintaining sterile conditions and preventing contamination in research and clinical environments.
