Why this procedure was chosen
No alternative equipment is considered suitable, as it fails to meet the size constraints for operation within the existing APHA laboratory class III safety cabinet and is incapable of reliably achieving the validated conditions of 90 °C for 60 minutes required for the safe and effective destruction of SAPO3 organisms.
