Classroom Demonstrations and Practicals
For a serial dilution practical, students fill Test Tube Borosilicate Glass with water blanks. They plug them and stand them in a Test Tube Stand, which is autoclavable. After the run, the cooled blanks are used to dilute a culture step by step for plating.
Teachers also use the autoclave to explain why water boils hotter under pressure, and why steam at 15 to 18 psi sterilises where boiling water does not. The deeper 375 mm chamber takes taller flasks for media made in bulk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Stainless steel or aluminium: which body should I choose?
Aluminium is lighter to lift and carry and heats up quickly. Stainless steel is heavier but takes harsh cleaners and hard use better, and does not dull or pit as readily. For a busy lab that moves the unit rarely, stainless steel is the usual pick.
Can the autoclave be left alone during a run?
No. Someone should stay nearby for the whole run. If steam escapes round the lid or the unit sounds unusual, switch off and let it cool before any check. Students run it only with a teacher present.
How should an aluminium autoclave be cleaned?
Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Avoid washing soda, strong alkaline cleaners and steel wool, which pit and darken aluminium. Empty the water after use rather than leaving it standing in the body.
Which chamber depth suits my class?
Both are 300 mm across. The 300 mm deep chamber suits racks of test tubes and small flasks. The 375 mm chamber leaves headroom for taller flasks and bottles, so a full class set of media fits in one run.
Does autoclaving clean glassware as well?
No. Steam kills microbes, but dried media, grease and chemical residues stay where they are. Wash glassware before it goes in, and after decontaminating used cultures, wash it again before reuse.
