Why is pressure required to kill endospores in an autoclave?

Pressure increases the boiling point of water, when it does boil the steam is now 'super-heated'. It is at a higher temperature than the boiling point of 100C (usually 121C and 15psi for an autoclave) this quickly transfers much greater amounts of heat energy to the object being autoclaved. The vast majority of microorganisms and even pathogenic bacterial spores cannot withstand this temperature and pressure for long, the lipids and proteins in their cell walls and membranes disintegrate and they are killed.


Can GC and HPLC instruments be used in same room?

Yes, GC (Gas Chromatography) and HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) instruments can be used in the same room, as long as certain precautions are taken to prevent interference between the two instruments. This includes proper ventilation to avoid cross-contamination, proper spacing between the instruments to prevent vibrations or electromagnetic interference, and ensuring that the room meets the specific requirements for each instrument.

How long do you cook a 14 pound turkey in an autoclave?

you cook a 14 pound turkey for 4 hours, here it goes, 20 minutes per pound, which is 280 divide by 60 which is 4 hours and 20 minutes...and that would be without an autoclave. In an autoclave it looks like regardless of weight you'll run about a 45 minute sterilize cycle. (121C with 15 psig) I would use a liquid cycle, of course, to minimize/prevent boiling. The whole cycle would take about about an hour and 30 minutes. An autoclave safe container in which you can submerse the turkey in broth might help.
