Why is it important that a sterilizer/autoclave must reach specific temperatures to ensure microorganisms on surgery and laboratory tools are killed?
The two common steam-sterilizing temperatures are 121°C (250°F) and 132°C (270°F). These temperatures (and other high temperatures) must be maintained for a specified amount of time to kill microorganisms.
