The goal of asepsis is to eliminate infection, not to achieve sterility. [1] Ideally, a surgical field is sterile, meaning it is free of all biological contaminants (e.g. fungi, bacteria, viruses), not just those that can cause disease, putrefaction, or fermentation. [1] Even in an aseptic state, a condition of sterile inflammation may develop.
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 ...
Microorganisms growing on an agar plate. Sterilization (British English: sterilisation) refers to any process that removes, kills, or deactivates all forms of life (particularly microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, spores, and unicellular eukaryotic organisms) and other biological agents (such as prions or viruses) present in fluid or on a specific surface or object.

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
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.
Aseptic technique is a key component of all invasive medical procedures. Similar control measures are also recommended in any healthcare setting to prevent the spread of infection generally. Similar control measures are also recommended in any healthcare setting to prevent the spread of infection generally.
Having a super-sensitive multi-cancer screening tool that could actually save lives is the “holy grail” for cancer researchers and physicians. The aptly named health care company Grail claims ...
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 ...
