Autoclave.
Allow parts to cool slowly after autoclaving
Allow to cool in the closed autoclave to avoid deformation
due to too fast cooling (cooling time approx. 2 hours, excep-
tion: seripettor® with agar culture medium up to max. 60 °C).
After every autoclaving, inspect all parts for deformities or
damage. If necessary, replace them.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure effective autoclaving.
