Polycarbonate Erlenmeyer Flasks. Autoclaving instructions.
STEAM STERILISATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Starlab`s Erlenmeyer Flasks are designed to withstand at least 10 steam sterilisation cycles. Recommended sterilisation temperature is 121°C at 15 psi, up to 60 minutes.
Filled Flasks
Loosen the cap so it`s barely engaged, and sterilise according to your lab`s usual guidelines or protocol.
Before securing the cap, allow the flasks and contents to cool to at least 55 °C. (Tightening the cap on a hot flask will distort the flask as the contents cool down.)
Empty
Flasks Remove the caps from the flasks and sterilise in autoclave bags.
As with glass Erlenmeyers, cover the neck and tops of the flasks with aluminum foil. Crimp the foil enough so it does not fall off during autoclaving.
Use a small piece of autoclave tape to secure the foil to the flask, and to indicate that the flask has been exposed to steam.
