sterilization cycles

Sterilization cycles refer to the processes used to eliminate all forms of microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses, from tools and equipment. Typically used in healthcare and laboratory settings, these cycles often involve exposure to extreme heat (like autoclaving), chemicals, or radiation. During a cycle, items are subjected to specific temperatures and durations to ensure effectiveness. Different materials or items may require different methods or conditions to achieve proper sterilization. The goal is to create a safe, sterile environment to prevent infections and contamination. Each cycle is carefully monitored to ensure the desired level of sterility is achieved.
