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.
Use autoclave tape to tape on caps, also put a small bit of autoclave tape on any other items you autoclave. The tape will change color during autoclaving, thus signaling to any future user that the item has really been sterilized. Note: Autoclave tape only shows that the tape has been exposed to heat (80C).
