Why is non-absorbent cotton preferred for plugging of test tubes?

We use non absorbent cotton for plugging of test tubes or other glassware.

However, non absorbent cotton does not get wet and chances of contamination are decreased significantly.

What are types of sterilization?

In the US, women have two options for steriliation. Tubal ligation cuts or clips the fallopian tubes so the egg and sperm can't meet.

Men have the option of vasectomy, in which a tiny portion of each vas deferens is removed so that sperm can't enter the semen.
