Lesson 24 · Sterilization Process
Low temperature is not one method: EO needs a long aeration, gas plasma needs none, and VHP aerates in the chamber.
In this lesson
Say why low-temperature sterilization is needed, explain how ethylene oxide and hydrogen peroxide kill microorganisms, and follow an ethylene oxide cycle, a hydrogen peroxide gas plasma cycle and a vaporized hydrogen peroxide cycle from start to finish, including where aeration fits.
