What is the purpose of aspectic technique?

Answer 1

In what, exactly? The aseptic technique is generally used in the health care/pharmaceutical industry to ensure that the patient is protected from bugs (microbes/endotoxins).
In the pharmaceutical industry, for instance, the aseptic technique is applied to ensure that the product that is manufactured contains a minimal bioburden count (injectibles especially), to ensure that when the product goes into the human body, it will not result in sepsis. When a product is injected into a human body and contains high bioburden counts (bacteria), there is no longer the barrier of the skin to protect the body from these bugs.
Same applies in hospitals. Drs and nurses try to ensure that when operating, as few bugs get into the patient. Bugs going into the patient during the operation can also result in sepsis.

Answer 2

Before attempting ANY procedures that involve bacteria, you MUST learn aspectic technique. Learning just a few precautions will prevent contamination of other experiments and sickness in those who are working with, or around, bacteria.

Even harmless bacteria can cause problems if given the right opportunity. Therefore it is essential that these steps be followed TO THE LETTER. If your students are unable to handle following these safety precautions, you should NOT have them do this experiment!!

So what does aspectic technique do, and why should one bother? First of all, aspectic technique will protect you, your students, and their experiments from harmful bacteria, fungi, and other such microorganisms. Aspectic technique is fairly easy to learn, and should be learned to prevent sickness.

Hope this helps!
