How the autoclave is used
An autoclave sterilises by holding the load in saturated steam above the normal boiling point of water. At an operating pressure of 1.05 bar the steam reaches 121 °C, and holding that temperature for the set time kills bacteria, fungi and their spores, which boiling at 100 °C does not reliably do. The operating conditions of this model are set for sterilising culture media and glassware in educational laboratories.
- Load prepared media bottles, flasks or glassware into the 210 x 290 mm chamber, keeping the unwrapped load within 4 kg and bottle caps loosened.
- Close the lid and press the single start button; the unit heats up and runs the sterilising cycle without further settings.
- Let the cycle finish; the interlock keeps the lid shut until the internal temperature has fallen to a safe level.
- Open the lid, lift the load out with heat-resistant gloves and let media cool before pouring.
