How to use autoclave | Principle, Component parts, Working

Dear viewer/subscriber, if my videos helped you a lot (maybe you aced your exams as a student, or you won the admiration and full attention of your students as a teacher, or you got your techniques right as a hobbyist), then its my humble request if you could take a moment to consider supporting me on anyone of the following platforms:

Or if a monthly payment is not convenient for you right now, you may instead consider supporting me with a one-time thankyou gesture by clicking on the SuperThanks Icon below my videos next to the like dislike buttons. Pay the one-time-only amount that you feel is worth the help and benefit you got from my video.

Highly informative. Best video and explanation out there so far.

Note: do be sure to read your manuals though folks!

very helpful informative video; I want to know, do you remove water and steam both completely from vaccum valve to 0psi or only remove water after switch off autoclave to create vaccum? i experience wet gauze or cotton can you help get them dry .

[alisarose]

This is very informative but as someone who's never used one and needs to I'm quite nervous. I can't seem to find any videos on the type I have. It looks the same as yours but instead of twist knows, it has what looks like two switch-opening steam exhausts on the lid. One at left and one on right. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to position these or what to do with them. Do you have any idea? Can I send you a picture? Thank you for any help in advance.

Heyyy thomas
I have a doubt.
What is the difference between 0psi and 14.7 psi...
Because in my manual it is mentioned that at 0psi the water is at boiling temperature of 100°C.

Very useful demo. This video wants to translate to tamil language. Please🙏 sir. I follow serving kit❤manual. Super😂

Thank you I'm sitting here waiting for the water to warm up. It takes forever! Hopefully the heating element is still good at least it's warming up. Good to know it takes an hour. I even used hot water. Does your vent valve spit water when warming up?

Thank you so so much for this video!! I need to give a talk about these for school and I was so confused on how the mechanism worked but you explained it all perfectly
Thank you ❤

Hi Thomas that's a great tutorial. Thanks. My autoclave doesn't have a vacuum release valve. So how do I release the vacuum. Please

[BIOMEDSTUDENTSSEPTEMBER]

that was a very helpful and detailed video thanks so much

[tapaswinijena]

hello! very informative video. can you please suggest what might be causing our autoclave to release pressure through the green safety valve before reaching 15psi, nearby12-13 psi?

[nakayimaharriet]

Thanks so much. I am now clear with the sterilisation using the pressure cooker

[ehud]

Wow! I have a question, what causes the loads after sterilisation to come out wet and what’s the solution

[maxwellrejoice]

Very helpful. One suggestion on compressing gaskets like the one on the lid is to snug then tighten the lid blocks in a star pattern like you would on an automobile wheel (1, 4, 6, 3, 5, 2) being sure the 1st two blocks are as close to opposite each other on the lid as possible. This process will help eliminate potential gadget deformation that can degrade the life span of the gasket. Thanks a ton!
