Autoclave sterilization pot two sterilization interval how long

Autoclave sterilizers are designed to allow 1-2 minutes between sterilizations. Allow enough time between each sterilization to ensure that the equipment is sufficiently cooled and the residual steam is expelled. This protects the operator's safety and avoids overheating or other problems when the equipment is continuously sterilized, so 1-2 minutes between two sterilizations of the autoclave is the most appropriate. An autoclave is a piece of equipment commonly used in medical, laboratory and industrial settings to sterilize and disinfect items and tools. It kills bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms through steam at high temperatures and pressures to ensure the sterilization of items.
