The temperature of an autoclave machine typically ranges from 121°C to 134°C. This temperature is needed to kill or remove all forms of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms that may be present on the equipment or instrument being sterilized.
The exact temperature used in an autoclave will depend on the specific model of the autoclave, the type of equipment or instrument being sterilized, and the type of microorganisms being targeted.
For example, some autoclaves may use a temperature of 121°C for a specific period of time to sterilize equipment, while others may use a temperature of 134°C for a shorter period of time. The choice of temperature will depend on the specific requirements of the autoclave and the type of sterilization being performed.
