The Several Difference Between Aseptic and Sterile

The phrases sterile and aseptic are frequently used interchangeably. Although they both pertain to the same goal of removing and minimizing potentially hazardous bacteria, the distinctions are critical in cleanroom and pharmaceutical (Pharmaceutical Aseptic Virtual Forum) environments.

Aseptic AND Sterile

Aseptic 

Aseptic Processing Overview: A surface, object, product, or environment has been disinfected to eliminate contamination. Bacteria, viruses, and other hazardous biological organisms are unable to survive or proliferate in this environment. Aseptic processing does not establish sterility; instead, it maintains it.

Sterile

A product that is free of any tiny organisms. Although sterility refers to the absence of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, it does not distinguish pathogens. A sterilization process tries to eliminate all living microbes from an environment.
