Asepsis is the state of being free from disease-causing micro-organisms (such as pathogenic bacteria, viruses, pathogenic fungi, and parasites). [1] There are two categories of asepsis: medical and surgical. [ 1 ]
Equipment used in aseptic processing of food and beverages must be sterilized before processing and remain sterile during processing. [1] When designing aseptic processing equipment there are six basic requirements to consider: the equipment must have the capability of being cleaned thoroughly, it must be able to be sterilized with steam, chemicals, or high-temperature water, sterilization ...
A curette in sterile packaging. Instruments that have undergone sterilization can be maintained in such condition by containment in sealed packaging until use. Aseptic technique is the act of maintaining sterility during procedures.
Sterile or sterility may refer to: Asepsis, a state of being free from biological contaminants; Sterile (archaeology), a sediment deposit which contains no evidence of human activity; Sterilization (microbiology), any process that eliminates or kills all forms of life or removes them from an item or a field
Sterile dental instruments from hospital central supply (barcoded label indicating sterilization date, expiry date and contents). The central sterile services department (CSSD), also called sterile processing department (SPD), sterile processing, central supply department (CSD), or central supply, is an integrated place in hospitals and other health care facilities that performs sterilization ...
Introducing a potentially non-sterile needle into the bioprocessing equipment violates good aseptic technique. With a cannula based aseptic sampling device [4] the needle and septa are combined into a hermetically sealed aseptic sampling device.
Pressure sterilization is the prevailing method used for medical sterilization of heat-resistant tools, and for sterilization of materials for microbiology and other fields calling for aseptic technique. [citation needed] In cases when items need to be sterilized for immediate use, flash sterilization may be employed. [3]
Aseptic technique is then applied to the withdrawn inoculation needle. Plate culture. Inoculation of a plate culture is done through the streaking technique to make a streak plate. [1] [2] [4] After lifting the lid so that it hovers above the sterile agar plate, the inoculation needle will be streaked across the plate in controlled directions. [1]
