These are specifically designed for non-medical applications. Research autoclaves often use a “jacketless” design where steam is generated directly in the pressure chamber using heating coils (rather than relying on a “steam jacket” and independent steam generator, as is the case in high-throughput medical autoclaves).
Hydrogen peroxide is used to sterilize heat- or temperature-sensitive articles, such as rigid endoscopes. In medical sterilization, hydrogen peroxide is used at higher concentrations, ranging from around 35% up to 90%. The biggest advantage of hydrogen peroxide as a sterilant is the short cycle time.
There, they were sterilized in a steam autoclave. (Note: there were always lots of patient complaints about the metal bedpans. They were not kept in a refrigerator.
used as a portable autoclave Biological and chemical indicators: Used to ascertain if a certain process has been completed, e.g. spores used in an autoclave are killed if autoclaving is properly done Filters: •Candle filter: used as household water filters and as filters for large particles in the laboratories
An autoclave may also be used to treat biomedical waste. An autoclave uses steam and pressure to sterilize the waste or reduce its microbiological load to a level at which it may be safely disposed of. Many healthcare facilities routinely use an autoclave to sterilize medical supplies.
Autoclave: used for sterilization of glass ware and media Auto-destruct syringes: specimen collection Bijou bottle: a cylindrical small glass bottle with a screw cap used as a culture medium holder Biosafety cabinet: used to work with dangerous organisms and to work sterile Blood collection bottle: to collect blood by venipuncture: Brittany
