Disadvantages of steam sterilizers

Limited range of sterilized items: Steam sterilizers are mainly suitable for items that are resistant to high temperatures and high humidity. For some items that cannot withstand high-temperature cooking, such as some electronic products, plastic products, etc., steam sterilizers may not be suitable.

Safety hazards: The steam sterilizer will produce high-temperature and high-pressure steam during its operation. If it is operated improperly or the equipment is faulty, it may cause burns, explosions and other safety accidents. Therefore, when using a steam sterilizer, you need to strictly abide by safe operating procedures and regularly inspect and maintain the equipment.

The types of germs that can be killed are limited: Although steam sterilizers can kill most microorganisms, they may not be able to kill some high-temperature-resistant germs, such as Helicobacter pylori and Aspergillus aflatoxin.

It is easy to cause secondary pollution: If the steam sterilizer does not have a drying function, the sterilized items may still be in a wet state, which is easy to cause secondary pollution. Therefore, when choosing a steam sterilizer, you need to pay attention to whether it has a drying function.

To sum up, steam sterilizers have significant advantages, such as good sterilization effect, wide application range, and easy operation. However, they also have some disadvantages, such as limited scope of sterilized items, safety hazards, etc. When using a steam sterilizer, you need to fully understand its advantages and disadvantages, and select and use it according to actual needs.
