Autoclaves and sterilisation

Autoclaving your contaminated items – best practices and approaches

Hosted by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Autoclaves play an important part in maintaining clean and sterile processes, but the sterilisation process in an autoclave can be rather difficult. For example:

  • When sterilising instruments, glassware, filters or textiles for later use in the lab, the sterilisation process must ensure it produces a sterile product every time
  • Products sterilised for use in laboratories cannot be tested for sterility, as this would contaminate them again and thus they could not be used in the lab any longer
  • Safety aspects must generally be considered when autoclaving, and in particular when sterilising liquids

Given the importance of preventing contamination from ruining your work or infecting the public, it is vital to adhere to the manufacturer safety protocol to ensure that appropriate cycles are used for specific loads.

Our in-house expert discusses best practices and approaches for sterilisation process in order to prevent contamination from ruining your work or infecting the public.

Topics include:

  • How to ensure sterility of your autoclaved product
  • Safety features of modern autoclaves that prevent injury to the operator
  • Optional requirements for specific autoclave loads, and more
