Remove "contaminants", usually things that could carry diseases or toxins, from a sterile/controlled area. For example, when a surgeon goes to perform a surgery, he or she must wash their hands, put on scrubs and gloves, etc. (decontaminate themselves) so that they do not accidentally infect or contaminate the patient they are performing surgery on.
Decontamination is also used in places where things like radioactive materials and poisonous or virile materials have been to remove the hazardous stuff and make the area safer for people and wildlife to be around.
to minimize personnel/equipment contamination
Microbiologists autoclave their instruments to ensure complete sterilization—eliminating bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants. This process is vital for maintaining accurate lab results, preventing cross-contamination, and complying with industry safety standards. For manufacturers, suppliers, and wholesalers dealing with lab tools or scientific equipment, offering autoclave-safe products enhances reliability and trust in B2B markets. Platforms like Pepagora support verified sourcing of such high-quality instruments.
