Question USP general Chapters for microbiological testing requires to perfrom temperature mapping of the autoclave to be used for media sterization. The autoclave we have does not a port to place thermocouples in it for temperature monitoring. Can you suggest an alternate strategy to verify that the autoclave is suitable for the intended use without the use of temperature monitoring? Thanks
Answer Three alternatives are available for temperature profiling "old" 'claves:
a. purchase a set of radio transmitting probes, which will transmit the temperatures through the vessel wall during the study;
b. purchase some mini-data loggers, and after the runs download the data, and analyze;
c. purchase a "new" 'clave (and this is a serious option, which may end up begin the cheapest option)
