FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):Q/ What is an Autoclave & What does it do?A/ An autoclave is a device that heats the nutrient agar under pressure in order to sterilize it prior to inoculation. An autoclave is essentially a pressure cooker. You can substitute a household pressure cooker for an autoclave. Many modern household pressure cookers will not reach 250 degrees Fahrenheit at 15PSI so you may have to increase the amount of time you "cook" the nutrient agar to insure sterility is achieved.Q/ Do I have to sterilize the Nutrient Agar?A/ Sterilization is highly recommended but not required. Many would-be scientists have successful experiments without the use of an autoclave and without sterilizing the nutrient agar, after all, the objective is generally to grow mold and / or bacteria which will occur either way.
