Dispose of Microbiological
Materials
Autoclaving is the best method for disposal of microbiological materials. All
materials should be autoclaved at 121 °C, 15 psi, for 15 to 60 minutes. (The
requirement for length of the autoclave run varies from state to state. Check
with your state department of health.) Biohazard bags can help simplify the
disposal procedure.
If you don’t have an autoclave (or a pressure cooker to autoclave) household
bleach or 70% ethanol can be used as an effective disinfectant. Dilute
full-strength bleach to 10% strength and then submerge cultures and other
potentially contaminated materials in the bleach or alcohol solution and let
sit overnight. When drained, place all materials into labeled trash bags for
disposal. See Biological Waste Disposal Section pages 728–759.
Clean Up
Microbiological Spills
1. Pour 70% isopropyl alcohol or 10% household bleach on any broken glass or contaminated
surfaces.
2. Cover spill area with paper towels, and saturate with additional alcohol or bleach
solution. Wait 30 minutes.
3. Wearing rubber gloves and using tongs, pick up all glass or residue along with the
paper towels and place into a Bio hazard bag.
4. Loosely close the biohazard bag, place it in the autoclave and sterilize the contents.
Follow safe disposal procedures for the biohazard bag.
5. Wash the spill area again with bleach or alcohol and wash hands thoroughly.
