What are the processes of sterilization?
13.3. 1 Overview of sterilisation processes
| Technique | Main parameters |
|---|---|
| Steam sterilisation (autoclave) | 121 °C, 5–20 min High humidity level Options: Flash autoclave 134 °C, 3–6 min in vacuum with steam pulses Low temperature steam (110–115 °C, 35–40 min) |
| Dry heat | 160–170 °C 1–2 hours |
How do you sterilize OT instruments?
They can be sterilized by dry heat for 1-2 hours at 170 C. Instruments are no longer stored in liquid antiseptic. Sharp instruments, other delicate equipment and certain catheters and tubes can be sterilised by exposure to formaldehyde, glutaral, or cholorohexidine.
What are three ways you can properly sterilize culturing equipment?

How do you sterilize metal equipment?
Use boiling to sterilize metal tools, rubber or plastic equipment (like mucus bulbs), and cloth. and boil for 20 minutes. Start counting the 20 minutes when the water starts boiling.
How do you sterilize equipment in a laboratory?
6 Common Laboratory Sterilization Methods
- Wet Heat (Autoclaving) The laboratory sterilization method of choice in most labs is autoclaving: using pressurized steam to heat the material to be sterilized.
- Dry Heat (Flaming, Baking)
- Filtration.
- Solvents.
- Radiation.
- Gas Sterilization.
