Soil sterilization is notoriously hard on autoclaves. In part, this is simply because the soil sterilization process is inherently challenging. Soil is heavy, dense, and hard to permeate with steam […]
The Role of Soil Sterilization in Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soil Studies
Phytoremediation technologies use living plants to capture contaminants throughout the environment. But the phytoremediation of contaminated soil as a way to recover land previously damaged by human activities is proving […]
Steam Autoclaves for Permaculture Research, Regenerative Agriculture, and Soil Sterilization
In our time on the planet, humans have done profound damage to its environment. Today researchers are doing everything they can to reverse those choices and try to diminish their […]
Double-Door Pass-Through Autoclaves: A Sterilization Solution
Sadly, the Ebola epidemic has not waned in Africa, nor remained contained. It has made its way to US soil—albeit with a very limited number of incidents—and is driving a […]
Greenhouses Using Autoclave Sterilizers for Research and Conservation
