Detailed explanation-1: -Steam is one of the most popular sterilization methods. In most cases, the item that requires sterilization is placed in an autoclave or similar chamber. The combination of water vapor, high temperatures, pressure, and time destroy the microorganisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Filtration is the first and only sterilization method that eliminates bacteria by separating the microorganisms from the sterilized medium, but unlike other sterilization methods, it doesn’t kill or stop the bacteria’s ability to reproduce. The way it works is actually very simple.
Detailed explanation-3: -At present, sterilization is done in the home by boiling the syringe in a pan of water. To prevent sticking of the plunger from salt deposits in the water, it is necessary to dismantle the syringe and reassemble it after sterilization. This often leads to contamination.
