Autoclave PC Bottle-Advantage of Closure System available from TriForest Polycarbonate Bottles.

Our PC media bottles are designed to withstand high temperature and pressure of a steam sterilizer. Due to the nature of the resin the bottles need to be cooled down to prevent implosion (caving in). TriForest has created a uniquely designed cap/closure system to prevent interchange of external particulate matter during the cooling period. To allow temperature equilibration the caps need to be left loose, however this does not affect the sterility of the product.

 

  Suggested Instructions:  
1. Unscrew the caps to fill in the desired liquid to be sterilized. After filling leave the cap loosely (unengaged) on the bottle neck*
2. Leave at least 20 % – 25% void volume to allow cooling.
3. Place bottles even distance apart and set the autoclave for wet cycle according to your sterilization protocol.
4. After completion of cycle, allow the bottles to reach room temperature. Tighten the cap to appropriate torque setting.
  *The bottles each have a 20% overfill capacity (1liter bottles can accommodate almost 1250 ml).
