The concept of sterilization
Astrylyzyasyvn or sterilization means elimination of all forms of life in or on a
medium or substance. The different forms of living cells, bacteria and eukaryotes,
Andvspvr bacteria, spores, fungi, virus particles, smaller than the virus.
Sterilization process is complete, meaning that it is sterile or non-sterile
environment and a term or provision or part-sterile or nearly sterile there.
Faray
and
Sterilization Methods
• Different sterilization procedures are performed in the microbiology laboratory can
be used in both physical and chemical methods.
• Physical methods: incineration, autoclaving, use the oven (oven), filtration and
radiation
Chemical methods: the use of chemical disinfectants and disinfectant Burning in
the microbiology laboratory culture after culture and transfer using a wire loop or
ounces (needle) to catch and fry them on the flames killed the tools are sterile.

and
Sterilizing autoclave method
• An autoclave is a pressure chamber used to sterilize equipment and supplies by
subjecting them to high pressure saturated steam at 121 °C for around 15–20 minutes
depending on the size of the load and the contents.[1] It was invented by Charles
Chamberland in 1879,[2] although a precursor known as the steam digester was
created by Denis Papin in 1679.[3] The name comes from Greek auto-, ultimately
meaning self, and Latin clavis meaning key—a self-locking device.[4]
• Other types of autoclave are used in the chemical industry to cure coatings, vulcanize
rubber and for hydrothermal synthesis, growing crystals under high temperatures and
pressures. Synthetic quartz crystals used in the electronic industry are grown in
autoclaves.

and
Sterilization is a term referring to any process that eliminates or kills all forms of microbial life, including transmissible agents (such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms, etc.) present on a surface, contained in a fluid, in medication, or in a compound such as biological culture media
• Steam sterilization is carried out at
– a steam pressure of 1 to 5bar
– a sterilization temperature between 100 to 150°C
– a sterilization time between 3 and 20 minutes
• Commonly used steam sterilization parameters are
– 121°C, 15 to 20 minutes
– 134°C, 3 to 5 minutes

STEAM GENERATION BY INTERNAL HEATING ELEMENTS
• Heating elements inside the pressure vessel of the autoclave
• Steam is generated in a steam generator which is separated from the pressure vessel but integrated into the housing of the autoclave
BASIC PRINCIPLES | how is steam produced in steam sterilizers
STEAM GENERATION BY SEPARATE STEAM GENERATOR
21 © Systec GmbH , Wettenberg | www.systec-lab.com
Faray
and
• For steam generation in a steam sterilizer, demineralized water must be used
• The water quality has a direct influence to the steam quality
• Normal tap water contains minerals, in particular carbonates, and other ingredients which can contaminate the product during sterilization

Faray
and
• Kinetic heat energy (heat) is transferred from the heating elements into the liquid (demineralized water)
• The liquid (demineralized water) has the tendency to evaporate due to the kinetic energy (heat)
• As higher the kinetic energy the more molecules are released from the surface of the liquid due to evaporation
• The aggregate state changes from liquid to gaseous (steam)
BASIC PRINCIPLES | evaporation

and
• Steam is generated directly in the pressure vessel of the autoclave
• Steam is created on the bottom of the chamber
• Air must be suppressed to the top of the chamber
• Suppression of air against its natural gravitation
• Air physically is heavier than steam and gravitates down while steam rises up
Ineffective air release causes a reduction of the biological efficiency
of a steam sterilization process
• Steam is generated in a steam generator outside pressure vessel
• Steam inlet from top of the pressure vessel
• Air is suppressed to the bottom of the pressure vessel
• Suppression with the natural gravitation of the air
Separate steam generator and steam generation outside the pressure vessel
allows much better process control

TRB 402 – Technical Regulations for Pressure Vessels (clause 3.2.4)
If there is a given danger of delayed boiling of the sterilization product, e.g. when sterilizing liquids, it must be ensured that the pressure vessel can only be opened when the temperature of the liquid is cooled well below the boiling point
DIN 58950 – Steam sterilizer for pharmaceutical products (clause 8.4)
The program control must be designed that opening of the door during operation is not possible
When using a liquid sterilization program, it must be ensured that the temperature in the product is lower than 0.8 times the boiling temperature

and
• Delayed boiling can result in heavy injuries
• To prevent delayed boiling, it is to ensure that liquids in steam sterilizers are cooled down to a temperature well below the boiling point at atmospheric pressure
• A thermal protection has to ensure that the autoclave cannot be opened as long as the liquid is not cooled down to a save temperature
• The temperature has to be measured in the liquid (reference vessel)
• A cooling temperature of 80°C is safe
Because of the high risk of accidents there should not be any compromise

and
• Evaporation cooling is achieved by evaporation (boiling) of the sterilized liquid
• Evaporation can only take place in open vessels - never in closed vessels as in closed vessels a gas exchange is not possible
• Evaporation out of closed vessels cannot take place and the liquid does not cool off
• Caps of closed vessels must at least be vented
How can it be assured that bottles are always open (caps are vented) given the fact that more and more bottles with screw caps are used in laboratories nowadays?
At the opening of the autoclave, the temperature of the liquid in closed bottles is still above 100°C and the bottles are still under pressure

• Double jacket is produced by point welding two metal sheets and inflating these by air pressure
• Double jacket has very tiny capillaries through which the cooling water is led
• Using tap water or softened water for cooling would block the capillaries with carbonates
Because of the tiny capillaries, expensive demineralized water
has to be used for cooling
• Half-pipe cooling coils to increase the cooling surface
• Cooling water is led all around the pressure vessel
• Cooling coils provide a bigger diameter compared to the capillaries of a double jacket which reduces the risk of blocking the cooling system by carbonates
