Sterilization time of autoclave

High pressure steam sterilizer is a kind of equipment that uses saturated steam to quickly and reliably sterilize or sterilize articles. It is widely used in medical and health systems, biotechnology, food and drug production and processing. Sterilization and sterilization of medical devices, dressings, glassware, and solution culture media also apply to high-altitude drinking water in highland areas for cooking equipment and enterprises and institutions, as well as high-temperature steam source equipment.

 

Sterilization time of autoclave:

 

  1. Heat penetration time is the time required to reach the sterilization temperature from the sterilization temperature in the disinfecting cabinet to the center of the disinfected article. The length of time depends on the nature of the disinfectant, the size of the package, the location and the degree of air emptying in the autoclave and the type of sterilizer.

2, disinfection and maintenance time, that is, the time required to kill microorganisms, generally used to kill spores of T. stearothermophilus spores required time to express. It takes 30 minutes at 115°C, 12 minutes at 121°C, and 2 minutes at 132°C.

3, safety time, generally half of the maintenance time, depending on the length of the disinfection items. Sterilization of easily thermally conductive metal devices requires no safety time.
