HeatHeatPractical, efficient, and inexpensive method of
sterilization.
2 factors that influence effectiveness of heat for sterilization: temperature and time
– Thermal Death Point (TDP) Lowest temperature that will kill all organisms in a
standardized pure culture within a specified period.– Thermal Death Time (TDT)
Length of time necessary to sterilize a pure culture at a specified temperature.
