Why disinfection and sterilization?
Disinfection and Sterilization help to control
and prevent the transmission of infectious
diseases. The risk of spreading infections from
person to person or from contaminated objects is
significantly reduced by eliminating or reducing
the number of microorganisms on surfaces,
instruments, and equipment.

How Disinfectants work
Disinfectants work by targeting and destroying or
inhibiting the growth of microorganisms such as
bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. They
typically contain chemical agents that have
antimicrobial properties. Disinfectants such as
alcohols, phenols, and quaternary ammonium
compounds (QACs) work through protein denaturation
