What is a Drying Oven • An oven is a thermally insulated chamber used for the heating or drying of a substance using hot air that flows inside the oven. • When the pipette tips are autoclaved then water droplets are adhered on the tips. • This water droplets could change the concentration of solutions which is handled by using pipette. • In our lab, majorly we use this oven to dry the pipette tips after they have been autoclaved.
Settings • Normally, this drying oven is set at 60°C for 3-4 hours to dry water droplets from pipette tips. • Temperature and timer can be set by pressing ‘Mode’ and then changing the values using ‘left’ and ‘up’ keys.
