Autoclaves are used to perform sterilization of liquids and instruments and decontamination of liquids, solid and waste that are contaminated with biohazard materials. For more general information about autoclaving systems, feel free to watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfc1yjEuuhE) published by the World Health Organization (WHO).
