[Evaluation of the existing sterilization regimens for dishware and fluids by the autoclaving method]

Analysis of the present conditions for autoclave sterilization of laboratory glassware and nutrient media showed that they were not well founded and that the assembly diagrams of the autoclaves did not meet the requirements to the apparatus providing aseptic conditions. Checking of the temperature fields revealed "week" points with respect to sterilization. The heating rate of the glassware and nutrient media was determined and the choice of the limiting point for the control of sterilization temperature in autoclaves was substantiated.
