Corrosionpedia explains Autoclaving. Autoclaves are machines that make use of pressurized steam in order to eliminate microorganisms. Autoclaving is considered the most reliable system for the sterilization and decontamination of reagents, laboratory glassware, waste and other media.
Using this tape is one among many steps which are designed to ensure safety when it comes to handling sterile materials. If a package of materials does not have autoclave tape, it is assumed to be non-sterile, which means that it needs to be processed in the autoclave before it can be used. When materials are packaged for the autoclave, the tape is added last, and most people include a notation of the date on the tape. The tape is designed to adhere in spite of the high heat and steam in the autoclave. With the use of autoclave tape, people can determine whether or not packages of material have passed through the autoclave, and they can also see how recently supplies were sterilized, by referring to the date noted on the tape.
