An autoclave is a specialized pressure chamber used for high-level sterilization with saturated steam. Its operating principle is based on delivering moist heat under pressure to achieve temperatures that are rapidly microbicidal. Standard parameters include 121°C at 15 psi for a minimum of 15 minutes for many loads.

The heat causes protein denaturation and enzyme inactivation in microbes. The cycle is designed to ensure steam penetration: air is purged, steam is introduced and held, and pressure is then safely released, often with a vacuum-assisted dry cycle. Its utility spans critical fields. Medical facilities use it to reprocess instruments that contact sterile body sites. Dental clinics use it for all critical and semi-critical items.

Research and clinical labs use it to sterilize tools, prepare media, and treat biohazardous waste. It also serves in industrial contexts. The autoclave's key advantage is its comprehensive kill spectrum; it is effective against all microorganisms. Furthermore, steam's ability to condense on cooler surfaces releases latent heat, providing efficient energy transfer that penetrates porous materials and the interiors of complex devices, making it uniquely effective for ensuring complete sterility.
