Abstract
To hold pipettes during autoclaving, an autoclavable pipette jar made of stainless steel has the general form of a closed cylindrical container with a flat generally disc-shaped base on one end and a flat top on the other end. Adjacent to the top is an opening in a portion of the curved wall to permit receiving and removing of the pipettes. One side of the generally disc-shaped base is cut away to form a straight resting surface. Also disclosed is a method of autoclaving the pipette jar with pipettes in it for sterilization.
