STERILIZATION EQUIPMENT MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Opportunity Analysis, 2019-2027

Sterilization is a process that kills, eliminates, deactivates or removes all form of life and other biological agents from a specific surface, fluid, medication or biological culture. Sterilization can be achieved through various means such as chemicals, heat, irradiation, filtration, and high pressure. Sterilization equipment are mainly used in laboratories, particularly microbiology and medical. Autoclave is a most important sterilization equipment, as it can be used to sterilize laboratory equipment such as glassware and micro centrifuge tubes, and medical equipment. Chemicals, fluids, water or food used for experiments are also sterilized in autoclave. Other sterilizing equipment include dry heat sterilizing equipment such as hot air ovens, which are used to sterilize metal instruments, needles, and petroleum products. Glass beads sterilizers are employed for sterilizing instruments that are re-used, however, these are not FDA-approved.
