There is also a non-heat ethylene oxide based sterilizing process that is
sometimes used.

OK, someone mind explaining what "autoclaved" is, or is that a typo, and if
so what should it be?
--Confused
an autoclave is what they use to sterilize lab equipment. I think it just
gets very hot. No water involved.
Actually it's heat and pressure, which in most cases is implemented
using superheated steam (hence the pressure-cooker style latches and
the pressure gauges usually found on autoclaves).
Best,
Chris
