5 Introduction

Micro 8, Med 12 and Med 20 autoclaves are equipment suitable for a wide range of
applications in several fields: health-care, industrial processes and quality control.
These autoclaves allow solids without packaging sterilization processes and also of
liquids and culture media.

5.1 Sterilization

Sterilization is the destruction or elimination of all forms of microbial life, including
spores, which are present in inanimate objects.

5.2 Disinfection

Disinfection is the process of destruction of infectious agents. It is normally made at
a lower temperature than sterilization. Disinfection only achieves the elimination of
some vegetable forms.

5.3 Culture media

Culture media is a nutritional material in which microorganisms can be recovered,
multiplied and isolated, as well as used in susceptibility tests. They are generally
offered as fine or granular dry powder but also can be offered hydrated and prepared.
They must not be used before being sterilized.

5.4 Purge (extracting the vessel air)

Purge is the cycle used to eliminate the air inside the vessel to achieve saturated
steam vapour.

5.5 Saturated vapour

It is water vapour at a certain temperature corresponding to the boiling point of the
original liquid.

5.6 Atmospheric purge

In the atmospheric purge, the air is expelled by vapour in a gravimetrical way for a
determined period of time.

5.7 Recommendations for a perfect sterilization

The material to be sterilized must be perfectly clean, free from residues. It is re-
commended to clean it with a good detergent and distilled water. Rinse later with
plenty of water.
