Answer:

Dead cells of microorganisms

Step-by-step explanation:

An autoclave is a machine that is used to sterilize equipment by killing microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, spores or even viruses. This killing is done using high temperature (of steam) and pressure. Thus, an equipment removed from an autoclave can/might have dead cells of the microorganisms mentioned earlier on it.
