An autoclave is a machine that uses steam under pressure to destroy bacteria, viruses, and even spores found in the substance placed within the vessel. The materials are sterilised in an autoclave by heating them to a certain temperature for a specified amount of time. The autoclave, also known as a steam steriliser, is a device that is widely used in hospitals and industries for a variety of purposes. Since it uses moist heat sterilisation, the autoclave is thought to be a more efficient form of sterilisation. An autoclave is a machine that kills harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores on products that are put within a vacuum vessel using steam under pressure. A successful autoclave sterilisation process requires high-quality steam. The steam used for sterilisation can contain 97 percent steam (vapour) and 3% moisture (liquid water). For the most effective heat transfer, this ratio is recommended. The steam is characterised as superheated when the moisture content of the steam is less than 3% (or dry). Steam sterilisation is unsuccessful since superheated steam is too dry for efficient heat transfer. Steam sterilisation temperatures are usually 250° F (121° C), 270°F (132°C), or 275°F (135° C). The products being sterilised must be exposed to these temperatures for the minimum time prescribed by the manufacturer of the device being treated to kill any microorganisms present. The exposure time is the amount of time it takes to sterilise the system, not the entire cycle time. For proper steam sterilisation, there is a time/temperature relationship that has been established by scientific testing and is used in all sterilisation methods to produce what is known as the complete exposure process. Steam sterilisation exposure times differ depending on the size, shape, weight, density, and material composition of the device being sterilised, among other things.
