6.5.1 Autoclaving
The life of the accessories essentially depends on the frequency of autoclaving
and use. When the parts are showing changes in colour or structure or in the
event of leaks etc., the accessories have to be replaced.
During autoclaving the caps of the tubes must not be screwed on to avoid
deformation of the tubes. It can not be excluded that plastic parts, e.g. lids or
carriers, would deform during autoclaving.
