The cultivation and growth of bacteria are central principles in microbiology for better understanding their properties, living conditions, and reactions to external influences.

The filtration of exhaust air and supply air is a central component of steam sterilisation in order to prevent germ emissions and ensure the sterility of the items being sterilised.

The quality and composition of the sterilising steam play a key role in the success of steam sterilisation and the protection of the items being sterilised and the autoclave.

Prions are a special form of infectious proteins that can cause serious diseases without genetic material.

The standard governs the use of steam sterilizers for laboratory applications in research and medicine.

Various testing and validation steps must be successfully completed to ensure that a steam sterilizer operates safely and in accordance with standards. These steps are specified in the DIN 58950 standard and serve to ensure quality assurance and compliance with legal requirements.

Viruses are tiny infectious entities that do not have their own metabolism and can only reproduce within living cells.

Viruses are tiny infectious entities that have no metabolism of their own and can only reproduce within living cells.

The draft E DIN EN 13060:2002-05 specifies requirements for small steam sterilizers for medical applications and defines test methods, performance characteristics, and safety aspects.

The draft E DIN EN 285:2002-12 describes requirements for large steam sterilizers for use in healthcare and in the manufacture of medical products.

Strict requirements for temperature, pressure and material resistance as well as for the preparation and execution of the process are essential for the safe and effective sterilization of medical instruments and materials.

Cooling and drying sterilization items correctly is crucial to maintaining sterility and ensuring the safe storage and reuse of medical instruments and liquids.
