Liquid Chemical Sterilants

The idea
Some liquid chemicals can sterilize heat-sensitive critical items when other methods are unsuitable.
In practice
They work only if the item was cleaned first and if the concentration, contact time, temperature and acidity directions are followed exactly.
Where people slip
A liquid process gives no protective package afterward, so the item must be handled aseptically and used promptly.
