My old autoclave would have held 8 of the reams probably.
It was also pretty ridiculous to have that big autoclave in a home lab. Now that we are in a building with medical offices, there’s room for it AND I could have provided autoclave services for other tenants. Shit!
Live and learn. It’s been an enlightening process.
Autoclaving services....hmmm.... that’s an idea. I know folks are always buying “pre-sterilized vials”, however, I wonder if the vials are truly sterilized in some instances. I’m sure there are cases in which sellers of “pre-sterilized” vials just cap vials and call it “sterilized”. The average joe will probably not have any of the vials tested (if there is such a process).

just thinking out loud.
