title: Examination of sterilization parameters with a view to improving the quality of infusion solutions.
abstract: A determining time factor in the course of sterilization in autoclaves is the time required for killing microorganisms. Damaging of microorganisms takes its course as an exponential function of time. Taking into account this fact, the parameters of sterilization are determined by the technical standards of the equipment used for autoclaving. The authors present the sterilization problems of infusion solutions, with special regard to the sterilization conditions of heat labile preparations. The results of experiments carried out with autoclaves of different technical standards are discussed.
