BioWork 7040: Sterilizing Liquids - Autoclaving and Filtration

7040 Sterilizing Liquids - Autoclaving and Filtration

Overview

The autoclave and sterile filtration are two common techniques we use to sterilize liquids and protect patients. In this demo, we’ll make some culture media and split it into three fractions. Then we’ll compare an untreated sample (control) with one from the autoclave and a third that’s been through a sterile filtration process. 

The BioWork certificate program will teach you the foundational skills you need to begin a career as a process technician for a biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or chemical manufacturing company. BioWork is offered at NC Community Colleges around the state. To find the one nearest you, visit ncbionetwork.org/biowork.
