It is capable of withstanding repeated sterilization cycles, including radiation, EtO, chemical sterilants, autoclaving, and is serviceable from -60[degrees]F to +450[degrees]F.
It withstands repeated exposure to autoclaving, radiation and chemical sterilants, and maintains high bond strength.
Both
autoclaving and extrusion were found quite efficient in reducing TVC and TCC.
To evaluate the effect of
autoclaving on 17-OHP concentrations in dried blood spots (experiment 1a), native filter-paper cards from 25 term and 25 premature neonates were retrieved from the Austrian neonatal screening bank.
In tests measuring tensile strength and elongation, all three Medalist grades were said to exhibit greater values for these properties prior to
autoclaving, and greater property retention after as many as 15 autoclave cycles.
Two hundred-fifty cycles of
autoclaving had little effect on hardness and ultimate tensile strength.
