Sterilization techniques are the means used to completely eliminate or destroy living microorganisms on any object, including tools used to test or treat patients. Equipment and materials used during the manufacture of biotechnology products are commonly sterilized by heat treatment, using autoclaving or dry-heat, for the inactivation of microorganisms. In the case of liquids, filtration is used. These procedures are standardized in order to ensure effective sterilization. Sterilization can be achieved through various means, including heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure, and filtration. Sterilization is distinct from disinfection, sanitization, and pasteurization, in that those methods reduce rather than eliminate all forms of life and biological agents present. Have a look at the detailed presention that follows.
