An autoclave is necessary for effective sterilization because it uses high pressure and steam to kill all forms of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and spores. This method ensures that the equipment or materials being sterilized are free from any potential contaminants. Tuberculocidal disinfectants, bleach, and quats are effective for disinfection but may not completely eliminate all microorganisms, making them less suitable for sterilization purposes.Rate this question:
