Sterlization

Autoclaving (121°C, 15 psig for 20 minutes) Clean and rinse item with distilled water before autoclaving. Certain chemicals which have no appreciable effect on resins at room temperature may cause deterioration at autoclaving temperatures.


ALWAYS COMPLETELY DISENGAGE THREADS BEFORE AUTOCLAVING.

Gas Ethylane oxide, formaldehyde.

Dry Heat  106°C for 120 minutes.

Disinfection Benzalkonium chloride, Formalin, Ethanol, etc.

Radiation  gamma irradiated at 2.5 Mrad with unstabilized plastic.

+ Sterilizing reduces mechanical strength. Do not use PC vessels for vacuum application if they have been autoclaved.
