Flame Bacteria Examples Aseptic Technique Wipe Surfaces ​Antibacterial

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
