Examples of aseptic techniques include cleaning surfaces, using a Bunsen burner to create sterile air currents, flaming equipment and bottle necks, and minimizing the time vessels are left open.
This card lists examples of aseptic techniques: cleaning surfaces, using a Bunsen burner, flaming equipment, minimizing open vessel exposure, and controlling air currents.
| Text | What are some examples of aseptic technique: Wipe down surfaces with antibacterial cleaner, both before and after experiment Use a Bunsen burner in the work space so that convection currents draw microbes away from the culture Flame the wire hoop before using it to transfer bacteria Flame the neck of any bottles before using them to prevent any bacteria entering the vessel (air moves out so unwanted organisms don’t move in). Keep all vessels containing bacteria open for the minimum amount of time. Close windows and doors to limit air currents |
