Cold sterilization is not radiation sterilization.
Cold sterilization is a chemical sterilization. * Cold (chemical) sterilization used properly. Effective and proper use of cold sterilization is dependent on many factors including: ** The use of chemicals classified as "sterilants". Those classified only as "disinfectants" are not adequate. ** The physical properties of the item being sterilized. It must be relatively smooth, impervious to moisture, and be of a shape that permits all surfaces to be exposed to the sterilant. ** Adequate exposure to all surfaces, both interior and exterior. Tubing must be completely filled and the materials to be sterilized must be clean and arranged in the sterilant to assure total immersion. The items being sterilized must be exposed to the sterilant for the prescribed period of time. ** Use of efficacious solutions: The sterilant solution must be clean and fresh. Most sterilants come in solutions consisting of two parts that when added together form what is referred to as an "activated" solution. The shelf life of activated solutions is indicated in the instructions for commercial products. Generally, this is from one to four weeks. ** Rinse instruments, implants, and tubing (both inside and out) should be rinsed with sterile saline or sterile water prior to use to avoid tissue damage.

∙ 12y agoCold temperatures are used for disinfection not sterilization, hot temperatures are used for sterilization because your trying to kill the germs and cold is used for sterilization because your getting rid of most of the germs from one particular area and sterilization and disinfection are used in two completely different ways.

The ways in which a human can gain and lose heat?
A person can lose/gain heat in five ways: Conduction is the transfer of heat directly from one object to another. For example sitting on the cold leather seats of an unwarmed vehicle. Convection is the loss of heat through moving air or liquid. When it is cold we lose heat through the blowing wind Evaporation occurs when a liquid changes into a gas. Sweating is an example of evaporation. Radiation is heat sent outward into the air from your body and into nearby colder objects. It is also known as infrared energy. Respiraton is also when our body breathes in warm and humidified air and exhales carrying heat from the body.
How can radioactive fallout affect the human body?
The high energy particles (alpha and beta radiation) and electromagnetic waves (gamma radiation) damage large molecules in cells, which usually kills or badly damages the cells themselves. If cells die on such large scale it can lead to multiple organ failure. radiation damage to skin cells often becomes a sort of burn. In smaller doses radiation can still damage DNA, which can lead to cancer.
If you have knoted muscles should you use heat or cold?
Usually cold, you can get creams for it, but you can also alternate between the two
Why is bioluminescence called cold light?
Bioluminescence is called cold light because less than 20% of the light generates thermal radiation, or to say in simpler terms, heat. So, the less thermal radiation there is, the colder it will be.
What is cold pasteurization also called?
Cold pasteurization is also called irradiation
Do cold radiation waves go down?
There is no such thing as cold radiation. Cold is nothing in itself; it is merely the absence of heat - or just less heat. Heat, like light, radiates, but cold, like darkness, does not.What you may think of is cold convection; i.e., the fact that cold air will sink and warm air will rise. This effect is often confused as being 'cold radiation'.
What is warmth irradiation?
Infrared Radiation - Warmth From The Cold of Space. What is Infrared Radiation? The light we see with our eyes is really a very small portion of what is cold.
Is there radiation in space storms?
Well actually there is radiation. Because space is so cold that when the storm forms they both make radiation. Just like hot air and cold air making a tornado.
Who sings rock song called so cold?
There is one song that is called "So Cold" by Breaking Benjamin and there is also another song named "Cold" that is by Crossfade.
Once heat from the Sun penetrates the Earth's atmosphere the heat is circulated as warm air rises and cold air sinks. What is this process called?
RADIATION
When all the microbes have been killed by radiation or heat?
Your question is not very clear. Microbes can be killed by radiation and heat. It depends on the amount of each and the duration. Viruses are not considered to be microbes but are infectious particles. They can also be inactivated by heat and radiation, especially UV light, but not by cold.
What life is like in space?
Cold, dry, bathed in radiation.
Can you take cold medicine while on radiation?
Tooth brushing
