While autoclaving is effective for sterilizing many types of materials, there are some limitations:
Heat-Sensitive Materials: Some materials, such as certain plastics and chemicals, may be damaged or altered by the high temperatures and pressure. Incompatible Substances: Not all toxic substances can be effectively neutralized by autoclaving; for example, chemical toxins may require additional treatment methods. Equipment Maintenance: Regular maintenance and calibration of autoclaves are essential to ensure their effective operation and to prevent malfunctions.
