Chemical Sterilization
Chemical sterilization involves the utilization of certain chemicals to cause microbial termination. For this, the most used materials are chlorine, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, quaternary ammonium salts, and ETO. Alkylating gases Principle: Alkalization of essential metabolites of microbes, affecting reproductive Alkalization occurs by replacing hydrogen on sulfhydryl, amino, carboxyl, hydroxyl-groups with a hydroxyl radical Example: ethyleneoxide,betapropiolactone,glutaraldehyde,formaldehyde,propylene oxide Ethylene oxide […]
