I think that's the first laminar flow hood I've seen with interior decorating! Nice job. I use the oven for media sterilization with 100% success.....it gives you room for plenty of flasks. The only difference is you wrap the lids in foil, instead of Saran Wrap. Set the oven for 320 degrees for 25 minutes. I even use tupperware in there, it's okay at this temp.. Good luck with the stem prop., I am yet to try this.
