Selecting the appropriate sterilization method depends on several factors:
1. Type of Material: Some materials, like plastics and electronics, cannot withstand high temperatures and require low-temperature methods like EtO or hydrogen peroxide plasma. 2. Nature of Contamination: The level and type of microbial contamination influence the choice of sterilization method. 3. Availability and Cost: The availability of sterilization equipment and cost considerations also play a role in method selection.
