Heat treatment for mosaic virus

I had always assumed that this process required a circulating immersion
heater (like sous-vide cooking) precisely for that reason. Those can
keep a water bath, as long as the volume of water is not too large,
within 0.1 C or so of the target temperature. I had never thought an
oven would be well regulated enough until I read Ellen's post yesterday.
That must be a very well controlled oven indeed.
Alberto, how does your group control the temperature in your research?

recover. The reason is evident: to reach 46 C at the core the outer
portion must be almost boiled.
The laws of thermodynamics beg to differ. If your bulbs are exposed to a
constant 46C for long enough (above there is mention of 2 hours) the
temperature at the centre will be the same as outside.
