1. Purpose
This describes the operation of the Melag EuroKlav 29V-S. The autoclave is used for two main procedures:
i) sterilization of media, glassware and autoclavable equipment prior to another protocol ii) Deactivation of GMOs, and GMO exposed waste and equipment.
2. Scope
This should be observed every time the autoclave is used within the LBL BioLab.
3. Responsibilities
The operator of the autoclave is responsible for their own safety and that of others in the vicinity during its use. The particular risks presented in using this piece of equipment are primarily due to the high temperatures generated, steam and high pressures.
