Autoclave Tour
The Autoclave Room
Glasses for autoclaving should be:
- Only partially filled: the solution will boil during autoclaving and hence expand
- Lidded (loosely) - gas must be able to escape (to prevent explosion)
- Labelled 'iGEM' so any problems can be reported back to us
- Left on the table to the right (see picture)
- Collected from the autoclaving room
Other equipment, e.g. petri dishes, should be bagged, labelled and placed in the yellow box to the right (see picture)
Items which are unsuitable for autoclaving (e.g. sharp pipette tips which could damage the autoclave bags) will not be autoclaved, but will be returned.
