The autoclave is a precision-engineered sterilizer that utilizes pressurized saturated steam. Its mode of action is thermal denaturation, where high-temperature moist heat permanently alters the structure of microbial proteins and enzymes. To achieve this, the chamber is sealed and pressurized, raising the steam temperature to setpoints like 121°C. The sterilization cycle is a three-part process: conditioning to remove air, exposure to maintain temperature/pressure, and exhaust to conclude.

This technology is indispensable in modern medicine for processing invasive devices, in dentistry for critical instrument reprocessing, and in scientific research for maintaining aseptic conditions. It is also a key safety device for treating infectious laboratory waste prior to disposal. Beyond bioscience, it serves in industrial applications requiring controlled heat and pressure. The autoclave's dominance is attributed to its reliability and the physical properties of steam. Steam condensation releases a significant amount of latent heat directly onto surfaces, ensuring rapid and uniform heating. 

This allows for effective sterilization of packaged goods and items with complex geometries, which might be compromised using dry heat or chemical methods. Its ability to process such a wide variety of loads securely makes it the gold standard.
