An autoclave is a device that sterilizes equipment and supplies by steaming under high pressure. The autoclaving process is very effective at killing microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and spores.
Here is a basic overview of how an autoclave works:
Heating: Water is added to a reservoir in an autoclave and heated to create steam.
Increased pressure: When water is heated, it converts to steam and increases the pressure inside the autoclave.
Sterilization phase: High-pressure steam surrounds the item to be sterilized, penetrating its surface. The combination of high temperature and pressure is essential for effective sterilization.
Holding time: After reaching the required temperature and pressure, keep the predetermined holding time. This allows sufficient exposure to steam to effectively kill microbes.
Cooling and decompression: After the sterilization process is completed, the steam supply is turned off and the autoclave enters the cooling phase. The chamber is gradually depressurized and cool air or water can be introduced to speed up the cooling process.
