Aseptic technique refers to how doctors and nurses prevent the spread of infection. The word aseptic means to be free of harmful microorganisms.
Aseptic techniques refer to a set of procedures often followed in science. These features are used with the intent on minimizing outside contamination.
aseptic technique are all those activity used to prevent the entry of microorganism.
Aseptic (without infection) techniques protect you and what you are working on. That could be a patient or even a microorganism in a Petri dish.
Its the only way to get a pure culture.
to warm the tube and create warm air convection currents up and away from the opening, to prevent the entrance of dust particles upon which contaminating bacteria reside.
There are different types of Aseptic Techniques such as uphold of sterilastion. This is when you insure that the sterile sections in labs are kept sterile, by using sterile equiptment (such as gloves, etc) and washing hands for at least 2-5mins before entering sterile environments. Another technique is when dealing with sterile equiptment, not only do you use gloves, but ensure that you use the procedure of handeling equiptment in a certain way. Tilt the testube to the side for example, when you are screwing and unscrewing the lid of a container, using the side of your hands, not touching the rim with yor fingers etc. This should help a bit :)
The terms sterile and aseptic mean the same thing. And you are supposed to use a sterile/aseptic technique. From what I have read, many visiting nurses do not do that if they are from the doctors' office. But they do it in the hospital. It is always best to do this using a technique that will not infect the patient.

Sterialization or aseptic technique
The aseptic technique is performing a procedure using sterile conditions. Aseptic technique was first used around 1847 by Ignaz Semmelweis who suggest to all doctors to wash their hands before and after seeing patients, other doctors dismissed his theory.
Aseptic (without infection) techniques protect you and what you are working on. That could be a patient or even a microorganism in a Petri dish.
Typical situations that call for aseptic measures include surgery and the insertion of intravenous lines, urinary catheters, and drains.
