Sterilization (or sterilisation, see spelling differences) refers to any process that effectively kills or eliminates transmissible agents (such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms, etc.) from a surface, equipment, article of food or medication, or biological culture medium. Sterilization does not, however, remove prions. Sterilization can be achieved through application of heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure or filtration. ApplicationsFoodsThe first application of sterilization by Nicolas Appert was thorough cooking to affect the partial heat sterilization of foods and water. Cultures that practice heat sterilization of food and water have longer life expectancy and lower rates of disability. Canning of foods by heat sterilization was an extension of the same principle. Ingestion of contaminated food and water remains a leading cause of illness and death in the developing world, particularly for children. From Wikipedia under the

Ethylene oxide gas sterilization 95% alcohol 70% alcohol Asked by marlasinger5 - Sun Dec 30 19:44:39 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas is a satisfactory method of sterilizing plastic, rubber and many other items, which will not withstand steam sterilization. Source is the second eo gas link. (First link jic.) Alcohol (95%) is a mixture of ethyl alcohol and water. It contains not less than 92.0% w/w and not more than 92.7 w/w ethyl alcohol, corresponding to not less than 94.7% v/v and not more than 95.2% v/v at 15.56 C. I searched for the Alcohol 70% but could only find references to Rubbing Alcohol or "Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol 70%". Sorry I couldnt be more help there.
