Welcome to the West Campus Autoclave! Jacqueline Mendes, laboratory technician, has been at Yale for 34 years. Today she and her colleagues keep science at West Campus moving by providing critical research support services like the autoclave—“like a big oven” used to steam sterilize an endless stream of Erlenmeyer flasks, graduated cylinders and other scientific glassware that our researchers rely on to perform experiments contamination free.
