sterilisationautoclaving
Sterilisation by autoclaving is a common method used to eliminate all forms of microbial life, including bacteria, viruses, and spores, from medical instruments, equipment, and other materials. The process involves exposing the items to high temperature and pressure in an autoclave, a sealed chamber designed for this purpose. The most commonly used conditions for sterilisation are 121 degrees Celsius (250 degrees Fahrenheit) at 15 pounds per square inch (psi) for 15 minutes, although other combinations of temperature, pressure, and time may be used depending on the specific requirements of the materials being sterilised.
The autoclaving process works by subjecting the items to the extreme conditions inside the autoclave, which
Autoclaving is widely used in healthcare settings, laboratories, and other industries where sterile conditions are required.
