What is the best method of sterilization?
(i) Wet Heat/Steam Sterilization- In most labs, this is a widely used method which is done in autoclaves.. Autoclaves use steam heated to 121–134 °C under pressure. This is a very effective method that kills/deactivates all microbes, bacterial spores and viruses.

How do you sterilize plastic medical equipment?
Medical devices are sterilized in a variety of ways including using moist heat (steam), dry heat, radiation, ethylene oxide gas, vaporized hydrogen peroxide, and other sterilization methods (for example, chlorine dioxide gas, vaporized peracetic acid, and nitrogen dioxide).
What is instrument sterilization?

How do you sterilize equipment in a laboratory?
A sterile environment is a necessity in most laboratories, in particular microbiology and medical labs. Autoclaves, clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilization-in-place (SIP) systems, dry heat sterilizers and ovens, steam sterilizers, media sterilizers, and UV chambers all work to sterilize equipment and supplies.
How do you sterilize an object?
