Aseptic Technique
The media on which you culture desirable microorganisms will readily grow undesirable contaminants, especially molds and other types of fungus, and bacteria from your skin and hair. It is therefore essential that you protect your cultures from contamination from airborne spores and living microorganisms, surface contaminants that may be on your instruments, and from skin contact.
Bacteria and other contaminants cannot fly. Nearly all forms of contamination are carried on microscopic dust particles that make their way onto sterile surfaces when they are carelessly handled. One exception is insect contamination, such as by ants for fruit flies. Fruit flies are a particular nuisance because they can crawl under the lids of agar plates and lay eggs. You would think that people doing genetics research would have developed a model by now that can't fly into other peoples' experiments!
A contaminated culture can often be rescued, however there is always the risk that you will re-isolate the wrong microorganism. Besides, you don't have that kind of time to waste. Exercise extreme care to keep your cultures pure.

Sterilization is important to prevent contamination and transmission of pathogenic microorganisms. The goal of sterilization is to remove or destroy all microorganisms, including bacterial spores. There are physical and chemical methods of sterilization. Physical methods include dry heat sterilization using hot air ovens at temperatures over 160°C, and moist heat sterilization using autoclaves above 100°C, which is more effective at killing both vegetative cells and bacterial spores. Autoclaves apply high-pressure steam to sterilize materials for over 15 minutes at 121°C. Sterilization is crucial in healthcare, pharmaceutical, food and other industries to prevent infection and spoilage.
Aseptic technique refers to procedures performed under sterile conditions to prevent microbial contamination. It is important in microbiology laboratories and medical settings to prevent contamination of microorganisms being worked with as well as the environment. Sources of contamination include the atmosphere, hands, clothing, and equipment. Sterilization, disinfection, and antisepsis are used to eliminate or inhibit microbes. General principles of aseptic technique include disinfecting work areas, flaming inoculating loops before and after transfers between containers, and working quickly while containers remain capped. Following aseptic technique helps prevent contamination during microbiology experiments and medical procedures.
Surgical instruments require careful cleaning and sterilization to prevent corrosion and ensure proper function. Residues from procedures like blood and tissue can cause staining if left on instruments for over an hour. Instruments should be cleaned within 60 minutes of a surgery using an approved neutral pH solution. Ultrasonic cleaning is an effective method that is more efficient than hand washing.

Section 11 Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation.pdfThe QCCP
Cleaning physically removes contamination and microorganisms from surfaces but does not necessarily destroy them. It is important to maintain clean and dirty zones to prevent cross-contamination, and work from clean to dirty areas. All surfaces that may become contaminated, such as piercing chairs, should be protected with paper that is changed after each client and waste disposed of properly. There are three levels of decontamination - cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization - with increasing microbial reduction at each level. Sterilization using autoclaves at 134°C for 3 minutes is required for reusable items that contact broken skin.
These instructions summarize the reprocessing steps for reusable medical devices supplied by PADGETT INSTRUMENTS, including cleaning, inspection, lubrication, packaging, sterilization and storage. Key steps include cleaning devices using an automated washer or manually to remove all soil, inspecting devices to ensure all surfaces are clean, applying lubricant to joints, packaging according to standards, sterilizing using steam sterilization, and storing in dry conditions until next use. It is the responsibility of the reprocessor to properly reprocess devices to achieve decontamination.

The document defines asepsis as the destruction of organisms after they leave the body. It discusses aseptic techniques like hand hygiene, wearing gloves and PPE, and using clean sterile supplies to prevent the transfer of pathogens. Surgical asepsis maintains a sterile environment to prevent microorganisms from entering the body through sanitation, disinfection and sterilization. The three steps to achieve sterility are sanitization, disinfection and sterilization which clean, destroy bacteria and kill all microorganisms respectively. Autoclaving uses steam pressure and dry heat to sterilize instruments and has time requirements depending on the item.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
