Annihilate all other living things and sunder all organic complexes.
In a lab setting this can be well enough achieved by wiping down counter tops with alcohol, or mid-procedure you can place metal instruments into a flame until they are red hot.
If an experiment could be interrupted by organisms that survive these methods of sterilization and those organisms are likely to be present then further steps should be taken to remove them but such cases would be rare and not worth worrying about in, say, college courses.

∙ 9y agoSteam sterilization, or using an autoclave to heat objects, is a good way to sterilize tools. Ionizing radiation can also be used to sterilize things.

If a person wants to make a room free from microbes and their spores what sterilization method would you advice him to use?
dry heat sterilization
Under what conditions is sterilization by filtration preferred over sterilization by heat?
When a liquid is heat labile or can be destroyed by heat then this method is used.
What physical method is used to control microbial growth works via the mechanism of protein denature?
Heat is the physical method used to control microbial growth via the mechanism of protein denaturation. By exposing microbes to high temperatures, the heat disrupts and denatures the proteins in their cells, leading to their inactivation and ultimately killing them. This method is commonly used in processes such as pasteurization and autoclaving to sterilize equipment and destroy harmful microorganisms.
Is lyophilization a method of dry heat sterilization?
If we limit our discussion to the enveloped viruses HIV, HCV and HBV, then lyophilization is a sterilization method as explained in my recent article [Cell Tissue Bank (2011) 12:99-104]. Desiccation of the lipid envelops inactivates these viruses.
What substances Destroy the life of microorganism by coagulating its protein?
Moist heat, or heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, is widely used as a sterilization method because it allows for temperatures higher than what can be reached by boiling. It disinfects and sterilizes the life of microorganisms by coagulating its protein.
What effective method of contraception?
Oral contraceptives (or "the pill") Sterilization
A method of aseptic technique is called?
sterilization
What is the only effective method of birth control?
The only 100% effective means is abstinence- not to have sex. Surgical sterilization, such as removal of the uterus is also highly effective. All common means of birth control such as condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, withdrawal, rhythm method CAN fail in some percentage of cases.
Where in Europe is formaldehyde a BANNED sterilization method?
England
What do you use autoclaving for?
Autoclaving is a method of sterilizing equipment by the use of pressurized high temperature steam. It may be used to sterilize surgical equipment for reuse or for sterilizing bottles prior to filling them with beer, soda pop, or other beverages.
What are the application and relative advantages and disadvantages of dry heat and moist heat sterilization?
Advantages: 1. It is faster method of sterilization then dry heat method. 2. Additional parameter "pressure" is involved 3. We can easily sterilize the media solution. 4. It faster method of sterilization. Disadvantages: 1. Glass ware might get broken down. 2. Mishandling may lead to serious accident or explosion.
Under what conditions is sterilization by filtration preferred over sterilization by heat?
When a liquid is heat labile or can be destroyed by heat then this method is used.
If a person wants to make a room free from microbes and their spores what sterilization method would you advice him to use?
dry heat sterilization
What are the three instrument classifications that are used to determine the method of sterilization?
Sterilization can be accomplished by heat (as in the autoclave), chemicals (as with glutaraldehyde) or radiation. Your average outpatient office uses heat or chemical sterilization.
Examples of contraceptives?
Condoms, IUDs, birth control pills, depot birth control medications (e.g. monthly, or quarterly), morning-after pill methods, contraceptive sponge, cervical cap, sterilization ... and the least effective method of contraception - the "rhythm method".
Compare the effectiveness of autoclaving and dry heat method?
Steam sterilization uses much less energy and time than dry heat methods. In order to kill spores a dry heat sterilizer needs to reach and maintain 170°C for one hour. An autoclave only needs to reach 121°C for 15 minutes.
