STERILIZATION OF AIR FROM MICROBIOLOGICAL LABORATORY EQUIPMENT BY ELECTRIC INCINERATORS

Abstract

Two models of an electric air sterilizer were tested for effectiveness in sterilizing air containing heavy concentrations of bacterial spores. The sterilizers are similar in design but differ in size and capacity. The smaller unit sterilizes air at 16 cubic feet per minute and the larger unit at 100 cubic feet per minute. The design contributes to long operational life and ease of maintenance.
