Autoclaved materials

Appropriate Xenorhabdus or Photorhabdus bacterial cells are aseptically transferred to 5 ml of nutrient broth in a test tube and kept overnight on a shaker. The flasks containing autoclaved material are inoculated with the bacterial culture by pouring the contents of one culture tube. The flask is shaken well and stored for 2-3 days at 25°C to allow multiplication of the bacteria. 

In Fig. Ic is seen a preparation made by repeatedly autoclaving material of the tunica media of bovine aorta. The particles of purified elastin were dried, embedded in wax, and then sectioned. The sections were mounted and stained with Verhoeff s hematoxylin. Examination of the sections showed that much of the membranous elastic material had been resolved into flat bundles of fine fibrils, arranged parallel, and in registerlike locks of wavy hair. 

All cultures, stocks, and contaminated wastes must be decontaminated before disposal by an approved method, such as autoclaving. Materials to be decontaminated outside of the laboratory must be placed in a durable, leakproof container and closed for transport from the laboratory. Materials to be decontaminated offsite must be packaged in accordance with any regulations applicable to transport of infectious materials before removal from the facility. 

The first practicable synthesis of aromatic pentafluorosulfuranyl derivatives was introduced by W. A. Sheppard ]50] in 1960 ]43a]. It was based on the stepwise oxidative fluorination of diaryldisulfides with AgF2, via the trifluorosulfanyl arenes [51], to the corresponding pentafluorosulfuranyl compounds ]43b]. This early synthesis suffered from relatively low yields and sometimes bad reproducibility. Then J. S. Thrasher and coworkers ]45b-d, 481 found that the autoclave material used by Sheppard, copper, acts as a catalyst in the conversion. Copper and some other metals are supposed to facilitate the fluorination reaction via formation of metal thiolate intermediates. 

Washable and autoclavable materials must be used in constructing a treatment chamber. Polysulfone and stainless steel materials are recommended as insulation and electrode materials, respectively. 

The autoclaved material has an excellent combination of strength and density. By adjusting the density and the proportion of binders it is possible to tailor strengths and thermal/acoustic insulating properties to specific duties. 

Thermally unstable material may be added to autoclaved material aseptically once it has cooled. 

Dyczek [178] found a relationship between the strength of autoclaved material vs. the total C-S-H and 1.1 nm tobermorite content, which is shown in Fig. 4.65.
