Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gas sterilization is the best choice for heat- or moisture-sensitive equipment as it does not rely on high temperatures or moisture to sterilize. It uses a gas, such as ethylene oxide, that can penetrate through packaging and equipment to kill microorganisms. However, it does take many hours to process and may require aeration time to remove any residual gas.
