Chapter 11.L2, Problem 1CT

1. For each item on the following list, propose a reasonable method of sterilization. You cannot use the same method more than three times for the whole list. The method must sterilize, not just disinfect; and the method must not destroy the item or render it useless unless there is no other choice. After considering a workable method, think of a method that would not work. Note: Where an object containing something is given, you must sterilize everything (for example, both the jar and the petroleum jelly [Vaseline] in it). Some examples of sterilizing methods are autoclave, ethylene oxide gas, dry oven, and ionizing radiation
