Think pressure cooker, but for sterilizing! Autoclaves use high-pressure steam to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and spores on equipment and materials.
Here’s the basic process:
- Load & Seal: Place items in the autoclave chamber and lock the door securely.
- Air Removal: Air is removed from the chamber using a vacuum or steam pulses. This allows steam to penetrate deeply.
- Steam & Pressure: Steam fills the chamber and pressure builds. The high temperature (around 270°F) of the steam denatures proteins, killing microorganisms. ️
- Hold Time: The chamber maintains the high temperature and pressure for a set time, ensuring complete sterilization. ⏱️
- Pressure Release: Slowly, the pressure is released, and the chamber cools down.
- Sterile! Once cool, your equipment and materials are sterile and ready for use. ✅
