A modification of the capillary tube heating technique described by Stern and Proctor was evaluated to determine its suitability for virus thermal inactivation studies. A suspension of Coxsackie virus B‐5 (Faulkner Strain) in tissue culture maintenance medium was placed into melting point capillary tubes and heated to 56, 60, 72, and 80° C for various intervals of time. Surviving virus was quantitated by infection of cell cultures.
