Today I studied about autoclaves and SOP of the autoclave, So I thought to write small article what I learn from the SOPs for any person who would like to study. Autoclave is a specialized equipment used to carry out industrial and scientific processes requiring elevated temperature and pressure in relation to ambient pressure temperature. Autoclaves are use in medical applications to perform sterilization.

As I am working as a Biomedical Engineer and we are renovation human and animal laboratories, I start to study about equipment SOPs. So I search about SOPs and how to develop SOPs for lab or companies. In this article i am writing about SOPs which i came across during my search. SOP is set-of instructions given by a company or organization to workers to help carry out complex operations. SOP has set-of step by step instructions. Benefits of SOPs are, Reduce employee training time Maintain consistency Reduce errors and enhance productivity Meet legal requirements Transfer work easily Establish a chain of command International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) define SOPs as " Detailed written instructions to achieve uniformity of the performance of a specific function ". SOPs mainly used in pharmaceutical and Clinical studies. When we writing or developing SOPs for any process we have to follow a process. SOPs cannot create overnight, they need all deta
