This document discusses sterilization methods using physical, chemical, or mechanical processes to kill or remove all microorganisms from an environment. It describes dry heat sterilization using hot air ovens heated to 160-180°C for 2-3 hours to sterilize glassware and equipment through rapid drying and oxidation of cellular contents. Proper placement in metal containers is recommended. The direct flame method uses burning at high temperatures over 500°C to sterilize materials.
