You go to your local medical facility in Cypress, Deer Park, Houston, Pasadena, Webster, or the surrounding areas to have a blood draw, and then go home. What happens with the blood you gave that isn’t used for the test? What about all of the items that your blood touched, what happens to those items? Your medical facility works with biohazard waste disposal organizations like Nucore Medical Waste Services to make sure that biohazardous waste is properly disposed of. Human blood and its components, human tissue, whether from surgery, biopsies, or other means, bodily fluids including saliva, amniotic fluid, and more are all classified as biohazardous waste and require protocols to be followed to ensure that everyone dealing with it is safe.

Autoclaving is a Common Method to Disinfect Items
An autoclave is a device that essentially is a steam sterilizer and is an important component to our biohazard waste disposal service. An autoclave kills harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores that are on items that are placed in a pressure vessel. This high heat from the moisture in the steam efficiently transfers heat to the items to kill off all of these things and make the items safe to handle as well as to dispose of.
Autoclaving is a great method because it uses natural chemicals in air and water in the form of steam to render items as disinfected and safe. This means that it will continue to work with out any side effects or bad outcomes in perpetuity, so this is the recommended option to deal with biohazard waste on physical medium like petri dishes, lab equipment, and more.
