Sterilization is the process of eliminating all forms of microbial life, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, from instruments, surfaces, or materials, typically using heat (autoclaving), chemicals, radiation, or filtration. It is a critical skill in healthcare, laboratory science, dentistry, and manufacturing settings where preventing contamination and infection is essential. Professionals such as nurses, lab technicians, and sterile processing technicians are trained in proper sterilization methods and equipment.
