Dry Heat Sterilization

Enlist various methods for testing sterilization and germicidal processes. Describe any one of them.

Dry heat, autoclaving (steam under pressure), ethylene oxide gas, and various liquid chemicals (such as formaldehyde) are the secondary sterilizing agents in healthcare facilities. In some situations, certain types of radiation (e.g., ultraviolet light and gamma rays) are also used. (1 Point)TrueFalse
