The autoclave is a foundational instrument for ensuring sterility in professional practice. It operates as a sealed chamber that generates saturated steam under pressure. This pressurized steam delivers high-temperature moist heat, typically at 121°C (250°F), which denatures the proteins of all microorganisms, including resistant bacterial spores.

The device follows a meticulous cycle: first removing air to allow unimpeded steam contact, then holding the sterilizing conditions for a validated time, and finally exhausting the steam and drying the load. Its applications are extensive. In healthcare, it is used for surgical and medical device sterilization. In dentistry, it processes a wide array of instruments.

In laboratories, it is essential for sterilizing equipment, preparing culture media, and treating infectious waste. Industrial applications include processes like vulcanization. The autoclave is favored because steam provides faster and more uniform heat distribution than dry air. This allows for effective sterilization at lower temperatures and shorter exposure times compared to dry heat ovens. Its ability to penetrate porous materials and packaged items makes it the most versatile and reliable method for a vast range of heat- and moisture-stable materials.
