What type of autoclave do I need to sterilize soil samples?

To successfully sterilize soil, you will need an autoclave that’s capable of running vacuum cycles with pre- and post-vacuum phases.

Pre-cycle vacuum functionality is the most critical factor to consider when selecting an autoclave for soil processing. Soil can form air pockets, so a series of pre-cycle vacuum pulses will ensure that steam is able to properly penetrate the load. A post-cycle vacuum phase is also important, as the autoclave will soak the soil in condensed steam during the cycle.
