6. Why does plaque appear on the dry bar?

Sterilization odor or plaque is a normal phenomenon when using kraft bags, as any paper used for the manufacture of kraft bags contains resins. When heated, the kraft bag tends to release these resins, which eventually settle on the surfaces of the dry goods. However, if you regularly clean your dry heaters, the resin will not accumulate. We recommend purchasing a special all-purpose solution for cleaning tumblers and tools – MICROSTOP CLEAN 500 ml.

180 °C – 60 min,
160 °C – 150 min.

9. What is the difference between a dry heat sterilizer and an autoclave?

Air sterilizers (dry heat) use dry hot air for sterilization. During hot air sterilization, pathogens are destroyed by high temperatures (from 160°C) and for a long time.
